0 the action of doing something that is different from the usual or common way of behaving: --
We do not expect any significant deviations from the business plan.
Any deviation from the party philosophy is seen as betrayal.
1 a difference from what is usual or expected: --
The letter cited 'significant deviations from current good manufacturing practice'.
2 the difference between a particular number and the average or normal number: --
For each variable is given: mean and standard deviation in parentheses.
Note that all variables except for the interest and inflation rates are in logarithms and refer to deviations from some exogenous equilibrium (growth path).
Generally speaking, this equation simply requires the expected utility from undertaking the assigned effort to be weakly greater than the expected utility from any deviation.
Three children had deviations in visual reasoning, and one child had problems in the verbal reasoning.
We find more variation between items in the vertical condition for the six-year-olds (as measured by the standard deviation).
The thermal centroid, vertical spread or standard deviation, and the maximum distance of thermal penetration into the elevated gradient region were determined from measurements.
Unlike the kernel estimates, these "variance maps" contained no systematic spatiotemporal structure; and scatterplots of the standard deviations against the mean values revealed no correlation.
I believe that the normative responses to reasoning tasks as well as the systematic deviations from them can be explained within a single reasoning system.
