Misestimate
Definition:
(v. t.) To estimate erroneously.
Example Sentences:
(1) Therefore the isonymy analysis gives a misestimation of the inbreeding coefficient, depending on the prevailing form of nonrandomness.
(2) Collectively and for the range of figures studied, the data show progressive elongations of the contextual lines of the illusion figure first increase, then decrease, the apparent length of the judged line; the misestimation of the length of the judged line diminishes as the separation between it and shorter contextual lines increases; and variations in contour lightness significantly affect the illusion when the contextual lines are shorter than and at any distance from the judged line or when the contextual lines are slightly longer than and at an intermediate distance from the judged line.
(3) A computer simulation suggested that the usual savings score could grossly misestimate transfer ability.
(4) Using simple, single angular figures, including figures containing only one line, we have shown systematic misestimations of distance defined by these figures.
(5) It is possible that fluctuations in the subject's criterion for response (rather than actual variations in sensitivity) are responsible both for misestimations of the magnitude of the hearing loss induced by exposure to particular intense sounds (the TTS), and for the high variability that is commonly observed.
(6) In addition, these groups charge that decision analysts are misestimating patient dysutilities.
(7) Only the overestimated assimilative illusion varied significantly with age, producing smaller misestimations in both youth and old age and a maximal distortion in the 50s.
(8) These misestimations are not related to the absolute distance per se, but are related both to the size of the angle defining the distance, and to the part of the angle defining it.

(11) This paper examines three issues: 1) in what sense(s), if any, is decision-analytic work in individualized medical decision making misestimating patient dysutilities, 2) if this misestimation is real, whether it is an example of the normative-descriptive tensions that exist in medical decision making, and 3) in what ways do the relationships between decision-analytic and judicial decision making change when informed consent is viewed in terms of contract law as opposed to tort law.
(12) Comparisons among estimates of the time of GSR initiation and termination and of the GSR magnitude by three different methods are made for each of the three proposed method of estimating the GSR magnitude, latency, and recruitment--may increasingly misestimate their values as the preresponse or nonresponse rate departs from zero and as the duration of the response increases.
(13) The aims of the present paper are to investigate the potential size of such nonadditivity and such misestimations and to provoke discussion on the empirical plausibility (or otherwise) of epistatic effects.
