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...

Efficiency effects of variation in controlled experimental variables

Wendelbeger, J.R. - 2009

When a designed experiment is conducted, the exact levels of controlled experimental variables specified by the design may not be attainable. Two different types of situations can occur in which the actual settings of the design variables deviate from the target design settings. In one case, the...

1991 Annual report on scientific programs: A broad research program on the sciences of complexity

2008

1991 was continued rapid growth for the Santa Fe Institute (SFI) as it broadened its interdisciplinary research into the organization, evolution and operation of complex systems and sought deeply the principles underlying their dynamic behavior. Research on complex systems--the focus of work at...

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)....

A procedure for assessing uncertainty in models

McKay, M.D.; Beckman, R.J. - 2008

This paper discusses uncertainty in the output calculation of a model due to uncertainty in inputs values. Uncertainty in input values, characterized by suitable probability distributions, propagates through the model to a probability distribution of an output. Our objective in studying...

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...
