We discuss the concept of similarity between a model and a prototype. When a dimentionless quantity is formulated, the combination of experiments required for describing in them will be less when compared to the large number of participant variables in correlation. What clinicians are looking for is an analysis method that can aid them in improving the oga, but still be practical to use in a clinical setting. Dimensional analysis problems can become very complicated so for this unit i stick to simple problems. In these models we meet with variables and parameters.
Dimensional analysis would suggest that both einsteins equation e mc2 and the incorrect equation e 1 2 mc 2 might be true. However, dimensional analysis cannot determine numerical factors.
