Un cas d'utilisation est une description de l'interaction entre un acteur et le système lui-même. Pour les besoins de l'analyse des cas d'utilisation, le système est considéré comme une « boîte noire ». Un acteur envoie un message au système, et une réaction se produit : des informations sont renvoyées, l'engin spatial change de trajectoire, etc. 1, record 1, French, - analyse%20des%20cas%20d%27utilisation

Additionally, anecdotal data may lack quantitative specifics and can come from sources that are not peer reviewed such as the popular media. In the epidemiology context, anecdotal data refers specifically to case studies, but other disciplines use the term to refer to pieces of information that are based on casual observations rather than rigorous or scientific analysis. 2, record 2, English, - anecdotal%20information

The plural of "datum" is "data." When "data" is used as a plural term, it may be perceived as a collective noun, which takes a singular verb. However, "data" can take a plural verb if attention is being focused on each individual piece of data (e.g. The data were transferred.). In both cases, the French equivalent should be in the plural form. 3, record 2, English, - anecdotal%20information

The use of statistical evidence in a jury trial poses specific problems for the parties and the attorneys. This is so in both civil and criminal cases. The effective communication of statistical evidence can be of critical importance to the jury's impression of the case. Statistical evidence in civil cases might involve business concepts, such as market share in an antitrust dispute or the analysis of the racial or age makeup of the workforce in an employment discrimination case. 2, record 3, English, - statistical%20evidence
