1. A Bayesian Statistical Model for Hybrid Metrology to Improve Measurement Accuracy
Topic: Statistics
Published: 7/31/2011
Authors: Richard M Silver, Nien F Zhang, Bryan M Barnes, Jing Qin, Hui Zhou, Ronald G Dixson
Abstract: We present a method to combine measurements from different techniques that reduces uncertainties and can improve measurement throughput. The approach directly integrates the measurement analysis of multiple techniques that can include different conf ...

2. A New Analysis of the False-Positive Rate of a Bloom Filter
Topic: Statistics
Published: 10/15/2010
Authors: Ken Christensen, Allen L Roginsky, Miguel Jimeno
Abstract: A Bloom filter is a space-efficient data structure used for probabilistic set membership testing. When testing an object for set membership, a Bloom filter may give a false positive. The analysis of the false positive rate is key to understanding the ...

3. A New Design for High-Throughput Peel Tests: Statistical Analysis and Example
Topic: Statistics
Published: 12/1/2004
Authors: A Chiche, Weiping Zhang, Christopher M Stafford, Alamgir Karim
Abstract: The peel test is one of the most common techniques to investigate the properties of pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs). As the demand increases for combinatorial tools to rapidly test material performance, designinig a high-throughput peel test is a ...

4. A Statistical Model for Cladding Diameter of Optical Fibers
Topic: Statistics
Published: 4/1/2003
Authors: Chih-Ming Wang, Timothy J Drapela
Abstract: The National Institute of Standards and Technology has developed a contact micrometer for accurate measurement of optical-fiber outer diameter. The contact micrometer is used to measure reference fibers which are artifacts used by the telecommunicat ...

5. A generalized method for multiple artifacts problem in interlaboratory comparisons with linear trends
Topic: Statistics
Published: 5/22/2009
Authors: Weiping Zhang, Nien F Zhang
Abstract: A generalized statistical approach for interlaboratory comparisons with linear trends is proposed. This new approach can be applied to the general case when the artifacts are measured and reported multiple times in each participating laboratory. The ...

6. Adaptive Characterization of Jitter Noise in Sampled High-Speed Signals
Topic: Statistics
Published: 10/1/2003
Authors: Kevin J Coakley, Chih-Ming Wang, Paul D Hale, Tracy S. Clement
Abstract: We estimate the root-mean-square (RMS) value of timing jitter noise in simulated signals similar to measured high-speed sampled signals. The simulated signals are contaminated by additive noise, timing jitter noise, and time shift errors. Before e ...

7. An Application of the Residue Calculus: The Distribution of the Sum of Non-Homogeneous Gamma Variates
Topic: Statistics
Published: 2/2/2009
Author: Robert Charles Hagwood
Abstract: The probability density function for the sum of gamma variates with different shape parameters is found, using the inversion formula and the calculus of residues. This derivation seems more elegant than previous methods to derive the probability dens ...

8. An Empirical Bayes Approach to Robust Variance Estimation: A Statistical Proposal for Quantitative Medical Image Testing
Topic: Statistics
Published: 10/23/2012
Authors: John Lu, Charles D. Fenimore
Abstract: The current standard for measuring tumor response using X-ray, CT and MRI is based on the response evaluation crite- rion in solid tumors (RECIST) which, while providing simplifications over previous (WHO) 2-D methods, stipulate four response categor ...

9. Artificial Intelligence Tools for Failure Event Data Management and Probability Risk Analysis for Failure Prevention
Topic: Statistics
Published: 10/25/2009
Authors: Jeffrey T Fong, Pedro Vincente Marcal
Abstract: Over the last thirty years, much research has been done on the development of failure event databases and fatigue modeling of crack growth in pressure vessels and piping. According to a USNRC report (NUREG/CR6674, 2000), results of a fatigue crack g ...

10. Assessment of measurement uncertainty via observation equations
Topic: Statistics
Published: 12/3/2007
Authors: Antonio M Possolo, Blaza Toman
Abstract: According to the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement, measurement uncertainty is assessed by computational propagation of error based on a measurement equation that expresses the measurand as a known function of input variables. How ...
