Measurement Error > Error propagation (or propagation of uncertainty) is what happens to measurement errors when you use those uncertain measurements
As for the error propagation across, say y=log(x), the relative uncertainty in y is proportional to the relative uncertainty in x by 1/ln(10). So, to get the error in y one takes (relative error in x) times (1/ln(10)). I've been told you shouldn't use percent relative uncert...
Based on the knowledge generation model for visual analytics including uncertainty propagation and human trust building (Sacha et al. 2016), the cognitive theory of multimedia learning (Mayer, 2014), the multimedia principle (Butcher, 2014), and previous studies on the effects of different ...
writing the units after both the answer and the uncertainty is clearer and more economical, as in Equations (2.6) and (2.8). By the same token, if a measured number is so large or small that it calls for scientific notation (the use of the form ...
As far as the criteria are concerned, the meaning of the weights assigned to them, the strategies to deal with interactions among them, and the uncertainty in the measurement scales have been the main focus. From a preference model standpoint, the type of decision recommendation, the functions ...
By synthesising data and evidence, mathematical models can be used to identify areas of greater uncertainty or influence. They can also estimate the under-reporting of incidence in an outbreak; epidemics of meningitis have occurred in the African meningitis belt for more than 100 years but, whilst...
Why is your flight late?Mining airline data to assess root-causes and impact of delay propagation 1. Delays cause other delays: 25.4% of delay networks include delay propagation. 2. Delays do not often propagate a lot: 1-2 flights normally. 3. When dela... G Stojkovic,A Ledwoch,V Gia...
However, this introduces additional uncertainty to the model (see Section 5). Finding a solid mechanistic basis for any modeling approach benefits from a close collaboration between the experts in charge of gathering data (e.g. field ecologists, experimentalists) who have practical knowledge about ...
it has been reported that an overlap of the rupture areas cannot be resolved24. Similar limitations apply to the Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory, where the inter-event distance is smaller than the location uncertainty66. The physical models compiled in this study also concern both true anti-repea...
Repeating earthquakes, or repeaters, affecting overlapping rupture patches with a similar focal mechanism, have important implications to track fault slip rates, aseismic deformation, slow earthquakes and earthquake nucleation processes. They are often d
