Methods for developing and validating survivability distributions

Williams, R.L. - 2008

A previous report explored and discussed statistical methods and procedures that may be applied to validate the survivability of a complex system of systems that cannot be tested as an entity. It described a methodology where Monte Carlo simulation was used to develop the system survivability...

Design of Complex Systems in the presence of Large Uncertainties: a statistical approach

Koutsourelakis, P - 2008

performance statistics with respect to the design variables. For that purpose we explore parametric and non-parametric (kernel …. For that purpose the present paper advocates a framework that allows for calculating the values of response statistics … sensitivity of those statistics to the design variables of interest. …

Measurement uncertainty analysis techniques applied to PV performance measurements

Wells, C. - 2009

The purpose of this presentation is to provide a brief introduction to measurement uncertainty analysis, outline how it is done, and illustrate uncertainty analysis with examples drawn from the PV field, with particular emphasis toward its use in PV performance measurements. The uncertainty...

Uncertainty vs. Interindividual variability

Bogen, K.T. - 2008

Distinct treatment of uncertainty and interindividual variability in variates used to model risk ensures that quantitative assessments of these attributes in modeled risk are maximally relevant to potential regulatory concerns. For example, such a distinction is required for quantitative...

Treaty verification with an uncertain partner

Weissenberger, S. - 2008

A simple model is used to analyze the performance of a system for verifying compliance with an arms control treaty. Blue and Red are partners in to a treaty. Blue prefers to comply, but is uncertain whether Red similarly prefers compliance (in the absence of threatened violation detection)....

Power to detect normal mixtures: Simulation results

Thode, H.C. Jr. - 2008

Twenty tests for normality were compared for the purpose of detecting mixtures of two normal components with unequal means but equal variance. The purpose of this study was to determine the power of tests specifically designed to detect mixtures, i.e., the likelihood ratio and Engelman-Hartigan...
