The reliability of reliability.

Mitchell Haas · PubMed · 1991

Forty-five original articles addressing the subject of examiner reliability were reviewed to determine if the findings were adequately substantiated by the statistical analyses and experimental designs employed by the authors. Only 10 studies were determined to have properly supported conclusions, while an additional three studies contained correct conclusions by coincidence. Eight investigations had invalid designs and three contained claims that were contradicted by the author's findings. Half the studies were found to have conclusions that were based on inappropriate or inconclusive statistical analysis. To date, the research presented in the chiropractic literature cannot substantiate claims concerning the reliability of any diagnostic instrumentation or palpatory procedures commonly employed by chiropractic physicians.

The “electric ” architectures of future air land and sea vehicles demand highly efficient speed controls for continuous duty machines such as fuel pumps, airflow machines/fans, and compressors. Controls are being positioned near loads at the extremities of these vehicles, operating in harsh conditions such as high starting torque, dry-run and extreme cold startup, all the while shrinking physical footprints in order to save bulk and weight. Airframe manufacturers also are asking suppliers to replace Induction motors, because of issues with power factor, inefficiency, and limited power performance (torque/amp ratios). But these older systems are reliable so a way is needed to maintain their simple sensor-free reliability while achieving the performance gains promised with digitally controlled PM motors. This paper introduces a new sensorless closed loop vector speed controller implemented in a configurable control platform using a hardware processor….no software is required. Sinusoidal current waveforms are used to achieve low torque ripple and reduced EMI, even with low inductance and light loads which traditionally have complicated the ability to remotely sense rotor position. High torque is achieved over a wide speed range, with 400 % torque overload

Abstract: In this paper we study the reliability of calculations of the structural reliability. It compares the exact reliability expression within the Bernoulli-Euler column theory with its counterpart obtained via the finite difference expression in the buckling context.

Reliability: Reliability of improved network

Marija Mihova, Stojkovic, Natasa, Gorgiev, Kiro · Goce Delchev University Repository (Goce Delčev University of Štip) · 2008

One of the problems of interest in the field of multi-state network reliability is to found a minimal number of components that should be improved, in order to obtain a network with higher level of work. The main purpose in this paper is how to find the minimal number of components that should be exchanged, so that we will have system that works is a higher level and have the greatest possible reliability

To help in the matching of owners and pet dogs and handlers and working dogs, the personality of dogs needs to be described accurately and reliably. Personality, in this context, describes the stable and characteristic beha-Beilharz, 1984; Wilsson and Sundgren, 1997) has shown that the behaviour of the dog plays a role in its success or failure as a working dog.

The usual approach to stochastic parsing is to ‘reverse ’ a model of stochastic generation. For example, a stochastic context-free grammar (SCFG) G defines a stochastic process for generating sentences. A stochastic choice is made at each derivation step, and the probability P (d) of the derivation is the joint probability of the stochastic choices made. P (d, x), the probability of producing derivation d and in the process deriving sentence x, is P (d) if d is in fact a derivation of x, and 0 otherwise. P (x) is � d P (d, x). To parse a sentence x, we choose that derivation d for which the conditional probability P (d|x) of d given the sentence x is at a maximum, where P (d|x) is defined as P (d, x)/P (x). However, there is reason to believe that no SCFG provides an acceptable approximation of P (d|x) for English. The basic problem is that SCFG’s with reasonable coverage of English typically assign significant probability to many parses for each sentence. As a result, even if an SCFG G is successful in the

have a probability significantly less than one. In fact, it is probably a safe bet that, for SCFG's for English, the average probability for the most-likely parse is a good deal less than 1=2. Since the SCFG parsing method simply chooses the most-likely parse as the correct parse, it might seem that only the relative likelihood of parses matters, not their absolute likelihood. But absolute likelihood does matter, for the following reason. If we care about which parse tree was used to generate a sentence (as we obviously do if we are interested in parsing), then we must consider English as a set of parse-trees, not terminal strings. P (d; x) is our model of the probability of the speaker (writer) generating x with the parse-tree d. If the hearer (reader) always chooses the parse-tree d that maximizes P (djx), it follows that the hearer

Separating the signal in a test from the irrelevant noise is a challenge for all measurement. Low test reliability limits test validity, attenuates important relationships, and can lead to regression artifacts. Multiple approaches to the assessment and improvement of reliability are discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of several different approaches to reliability are considered. Practical advice on how to assess reliability using open source software is provided.
