		By the Loophole Hypothesis, in order for a satellite to be in UCM (uniform curvature motion) about a parent body, the satellite's tangential velocity and inward acceleration must be such that there is no change in perpendicular distance between the satellite and parent body curvature.
		By the Loophole Hypothesis, once a satellite is in UCM about a parent body, the satellite is in motion (in relation to the tangent and with respect to the perpendicular) and at rest (in relation to the parent body curvature and with respect to the perpendicular).
		By the Loophole Hypothesis, the at rest state of UCM occurs when the satellite is in the in motion state of UCM, because it is then that the satellite remains parallel to the parent body curvature, i.e.

	Matching hypothesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The matching hypothesis is a popular psychological theory proposed by Walster et al.
		Brown (1986) argued for the matching hypothesis, but maintained that it results from a learned sense of what is ‘fitting’ – we adjust our expectation of a partner in line with what we believe we have to offer others, instead of a fear of rejection.
		Further evidence supporting the matching hypothesis was found by Silverman (1971); Berschied et al (1971); Dion and Berschied (1974) and Berschied and Walster et al (1974).

	Structured Matcher - General Background
		Hypothesis testing is a technique to give a confidence level to a hypothesis based upon certain values that are given for relevant parameters [Bylander97].
		The determination rules used in hypothesis matching are often set up in a truth table, which is also called a simple matcher.
		The cell values in the rows are matching constraints to be compared with the answers or values for the parameters.

	CORK Bibliography: Treatment Matching
		The matching was based upon the ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) levels of care, as well as specific client needs, such as for employment counseling, and their availablity withing a single agency or provision to a specific program for a defined clinical problem.
		The benefits of matching were concentrated among the half of patients reporting needs in four to five rather than one to three domains, and were strongest among patients in long-term residential facilities.
		Specifically, Project MATCH specified a set of 21 a priori matching hypotheses that were tested by randomly assigning clients to one of three different treatments (cognitive-behavioral therapy or CBT, motivation enhancement therapy or MET, and twelve step facilitation or TSF).

	Patient Treatment Matching - Alcohol Alert No. 36-1997
		In fact, in many areas of medicine, matching patients to treatments on the basis of patient characteristics is widely practiced; for example, patients with a cancer diagnosis may be matched to surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.
		Project MATCH was a study of patient-treatment matching; it was not a study of treatment efficacy.
		The rich Project MATCH database continues to be analyzed and will, no doubt, yield important information on other possible patient-treatment matches and clinically relevant topics, such as the effect of therapists on outcome and the role of AA in Project MATCH treatments.

	Bait and Switch in Project MATCH
		Project MATCH was an extremely expensive clinical trial in which a volunteer, selected group of mainly alcohol dependent patients who had a small number of outpatient sessions of three different types of therapy with a highly trained and monitored staff reduced their drinking substantially over a year period.
		MATCH and the NIAAA have embargoed alternative interpretations in order to control these results and spin them to their advantage and that of the alcoholism establishment.
		MATCH was organized by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism to assess the impact of three different types of alcohol treatment (Coping Skills, Motivational Enhancement, and 12 Step) with special reference to patient characteristics that might predict better outcomes for each treatment for different types of alcoholics.

	interdisciplines : What Do Mirror Neurons Mean? : Mirror neurons and action observation. Is simulation involved?
		Without such a statistical analysis, it remains uncertain whether the cells that satisfy the definition of 'mirror neurons' (i.e., the ones that discharge both with execution and observation of actions) do indeed have 'mirror properties' in the everyday use of this term (i.e., are generally activated by the same action in both domains).
		I have raised this hypothesis here not as a serious proposal but as an illustration that alternative accounts should also be explored when theory and data (in this case, simulation theory and the activation pattern of mirror neurons) do not match.
		If the 'prediction' hypothesis turned out to be correct (and even if it did not), mirror neurons may indeed be considered to be the most important discovery in neuroscience during the last decade (Ramachandran, 2000) — but not because they support a simulation theory of action understanding.

		MATCH participants were volunteers, which places them at odds with the many coerced treatment referrals by the courts, employers, and social agencies.
		MATCH indicated that people who seek to overcome alcoholism and have a supportive social environment can well do so with brief therapeutic interactions that focus their motivation and resources on improving their lives.

		The feature set matching algorithm description in RFC 2533 is not normative: the logical properties of feature set expressions are defined independently of any specific algorithm that may be used to process them.
		Matching feature sets This section presents a procedure for combining feature sets to determine the common feature collections to which they refer, if there are any.
		Matching a feature set to some given feature collection is esentially very straightforward: the feature set predicate is simply evaluated for the given feature collection, and the result (TRUE or FALSE) indicates whether the feature collection matches the capabilities, and the associated quality value can be used for selecting among alternative feature collections.

		A match or fit between the demand of a stressor and the function of a coping strategy tended to result in positive outcomes.
		According to the optimal matching model, a match or fit between the demand of a stressor and the function of a coping strategy results in positive outcomes (e.g., stress reduction and good health; Cohen and McKay, 1984; Cutrona, 1990; Cutrona and Russell, 1990; Hobfoll and Vaux, 1993; Kohn, 1996; Thoits, 1986; Vaux, 1988).
		23 Based on the optimal matching model of stress and coping, the main hypothesis of the present study tested was that: the use of coping strategies whose functions match with the demands of stressors would predict positive coping outcomes.

		The data presented is compatible with the hypothesis derived from computer simulations, that human mate selection strategies achieve various aims: "self seeking like" (including matching for attractiveness) and mating with the best available genes.
		Mainly three theories are known to address this question: The matching hypothesis; assortative mating based on "self seeks like"; and the competition for the most attractive mate which achieves assortative mating as a kind of Nash equilibrium outcome.
		Under the competition hypothesis, assortative mating is the outcome of a mechanism based on general levels of attractiveness.

	Stratified Dense Matching for Stereoscopic Vision
		Consequently, the goal is to correctly match binocularly visible areas, detect half-occlusions, and identify unreliable regions (typically of low texture which are to be left unmatched).
		However, such features cannot be defined in the input images and their obtaining requires good quality matching hypothesis which have to be found in advance.
		The Stratified Dense Matching approach improves matching feature discriminability, such that the density of results (false negative rate) is improved about 3x and the accuracy of results (mismatch rate) about 1.8x, comparing to the plain Confidently Stable Matching algorithm using fixed-size rectangular windows defined in the input images.

	Object Recognition by Fast Hypothesis Generation and Reasoning about Object Interactions
		Each feasible match between a set of 2-D image features and a set of 3-D object model features provides evidence for some set of transformations, and the corresponding bucket (or buckets) in the accumulator array is incremented.
		This independent accumulation of match evidence is one of the major shortcomings of the GHT, for it often leads to false positives, i.e., buckets that correspond to accidental alignments of features rather than actual objects.
		First, every hypothesis generated by the FP map is represented as a 0/1-valued node, all with equal prior probability.

		In contrast, a five year NIDA-sponsored study of matching conducted by PsyberMetrics staff in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Study of Addiction found that outcomes could be significantly improved by matching patients to services, rather than to programs (18).
		Outcomes reported on the follow-up ASI (six months post-treatment) were uniformly more positive for the matched group (e.g., 35% of the control group patients had re-entered treatment, versus 24% of the matched group).

		The well-known matching hypothesis predicts that (even though we desire people with the highest possible PA) our partners are in fact people with a PA similar to our own (see, for example, Murstein 1972, and some controversial papers: Kalick and Hamilton 1986; Aron 1988).
		This is the appropriate index to verify the matching hypothesis, since in this case we are not so much interested in the correlation between current values (that is also relatively high and significant; r =.39; p <.000; n = 1251), as in the correlation between values at the origin of the relationship.
		The results suggest that the matching hypothesis is verified both at the outset of the relationship (that is to say, at the time of forming a relationship with the partner) and later, from a certain point in time (in our study, starting at around 5 years) until the end of the relationship.

		If the matching hypothesis is correct, the recovered surface normal of the model agrees with the expected value.
		Matching is therefore determined by computing an invariant in the form of the proximity of the recovered surface normal to the expected normal (of the model).
		When a match is inferred, the pose of the object can be recovered from the hypothesized camera motion.
