   And pausing, view’d the present in the tomb:
   Then to the heart ador’d devoutly glu’d
   Her lips, and, raising it, her speech renew’d. Dryden.

   And round thy phantom glue my clasping arms. Alexander Pope.

1. GLUE

   In hydrology, Generalized Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation is a statistical method for quantifying the uncertainty of model predictions. The method has been introduced by Beven and Binley. The basic idea of GLUE is that given our inability to represent exactly in a mathematical model how nature works, there will always be several different models that mimic equally well an observed natural process. Such equally acceptable or behavioral models are therefore called equifinal. The methodology deals with models whose results are expressed as probability distributions of possible outcomes, often in the form of Monte Carlo simulations, and the problem can be viewed as assessing, and comparing between models, how good these representations of uncertainty are. There is an implicit understanding that the models being used are approximations to what might be obtained from a thorough Bayesian analysis of the problem if a fully adequate model of real-world hydrological processes were available.

Examples of GLUE in a Sentence

1. Tara Kuczykowski:

   Index cards, ballpoint pens, and school glue.

2. Stylish Candace Cameron-Bure:

   The reality is the glue for us is Jesus, it’s the Bible. You know, when there are arguments or we’re compromising and in ways, it’s always like, ‘Well, let’s just go back to the Bible.’ It’s the foundation for us. So it’s not about winning or losing. But doing this journey together.

3. Ryan Kohnke:

4. John Updike:

   It seems to me the book has not just aesthetic values-- the charming little clothy box of the thing, the smell of the glue, even the print, which has its own beauty. But there's something about the sensation of ink on paper that is in some sense a thing, a phenomenon rather than an epiphenomenon. I can't break the association of electric trash with the computer screen. Words on the screen give the sense of being just another passing electronic wriggle.

5. Ingibjorg Gisladottir:

   It's creating a lot of uncertainty and this can undermine the trust in the judiciary, trust is a glue in every democratic society.
