Effect of initial seed and number of samples on simple-random and Latin-Hypercube Monte Carlo probabilities (confidence interval considerations)

ROMERO,VICENTE J. - 2008

In order to devise an algorithm for autonomously terminating Monte Carlo sampling when sufficiently small and reliable confidence intervals (CI) are achieved on calculated probabilities, the behavior of CI estimators must be characterized. This knowledge is also required in comparing the...

A further study of the impact of bias on accountability

Harvey, T.R.; McGuire, S.A. - 2009

When measurements are obtained for the purpose of material accountability, any deviation of averages from true value is one of great concern. The key term here is true value. Any deviation of averages from their true value will result in inventory discrepancies. It will not matter that the bias...

Two-stage sampling for acceptance testing

Atwood, C.L.; Bryan, M.F. - 2008

Sometimes a regulatory requirement or a quality-assurance procedure sets an allowed maximum on a confidence limit for a mean. If the sample mean of the measurements is below the allowed maximum, but the confidence limit is above it, a very widespread practice is to increase the sample size and...

Self-Organized Criticality and Stock Market Dynamics: an Empirical Study

M. Bartolozzi; D. B. Leinweber; A. W. Thomas - 2009

The Stock Market is a complex self-interacting system, characterized by an intermittent behavior. Periods of high activity alternate with periods of relative calm. In the present work we investigate empirically about the possibility that the market is in a self-organized critical state (SOC). A...
