  • Introduction to Measurements & Error Analysis
    Introduction to Measurements & Error Analysis The Uncertainty of Measurements Some numerical statements are exact: Mary has 3 brothers, and 2 + 2 = 4. However, all measurements have some degree of uncertainty that may come from a variety of sources. The process of evaluating this uncertainty associated with a measurement result is often called uncertainty analysis or error analysis. The complete statement of a measured value should include an estimate of the level of confidence associated with the value. Properly reporting an experimental result along with its uncertainty allows other people to make judgments about the quality of the experiment, and it facilitates meaningful comparisons with other similar values or a theoretical prediction. Without an uncertainty estimate, it is impossible to answer the basic scientific question: “Does my result agree with a theoretical prediction or results from other experiments?” This question is fundamental for deciding if a scientific hypothesis is confirmed or refuted. When we make a measurement, we generally assume that some exact or true value exists based on how we define what is being measured. While we may never know this true value exactly, we attempt to find this ideal quantity to the best of our ability with the time and resources available. As we make measurements by different methods, or even when making multiple measurements using the same method, we may obtain slightly different results. So how do we report our findings for our best estimate of this elusive true value? The most common way to show the range of values that we believe includes the true value is: measurement = best estimate ± uncertainty (units) Let’s take an example.

  • Breathe London-NPL-Statistical Methods for Characterisation Of
    Statistical methods for performance characterisation of lower-cost sensors J D Hayward, A Forbes, N A Martin, S Bell, G Coppin, G Garcia and D Fryer 1.1 Introduction This appendix summarises the progress of employing the Breathe London monitoring data together with regulated reference measurements to investigate the application of machine learning tools to extract information with a view to quantifying measurement uncertainty. The Breathe London project generates substantial data from the instrumentation deployed, and the analysis requires a comparison against the established reference methods. The first task was to develop programs to extract the various datasets being employed from different providers and to store them in a stan- dardised format for further processing. This data curation allowed us to audit the data, establishing errors in the AQMesh data and the AirView cars as well as monitor any variances in the data sets caused by conditions such as fog/extreme temperatures. This includes writing a program to parse the raw AirView data files from the high quality refer- ence grade instruments installed in the mobile platforms (Google AirView cars), programs to commu- nicate with and download data from the Applications Program Interfaces (APIs) provided by both Air Monitors (AQMesh sensor systems) and Imperial College London (formerly King’s College London) (London Air Quality Network), and a program that automatically downloads CSV files from the DE- FRA website, which contains the air quality data from the Automatic Urban Rural Network (AURN). This part of the development has had to overcome significant challenges including the accommo- dation of different pollutant concentration units from the different database sources, different file formats, and the incorporation of data flags to describe the data ratification status.

THEORY Basic physical quantity is referred to a quantity which is measurable such as weight, length and time. These quantities could be combined and formed what one called the derived quantities. Some of the examples of derived quantities include parameter such as area, volume, density, velocity, force and many others. Measurement is a comparison process between standard quantities (true value) with measured quantity. Measurement apparatus complete with unit and dimension must be used in order to make a good and correct measurement. Accuracy means how close the measured value to the standard (true) value. Precision of measurement refers to repeatable values of the measurement and the results showed that its uncertainty is of the lowest degree.

This is called machine epsilon If you use an x86 64-bit CPU, the above is what you get. HW-Problem 1 Use any software (C++, C#, MATLAB, Excel,…) but not Mathematica (because it is too smart and can handle the test below) to do this: 1. Let’s denote xmax be the largest number your computer can handle in the APP test. Let x be a number just below xmax , such as ~0.75 xmax. (For example, I choose x=1.5*10^308). Double it (2*x) and print the result. 2. Let xmin be your computer smallest number. Choose x just above it. Then find 0.5*x and print output. Here is an example what happens in Excel: Excel error: instead of giving the correct answer 3*10^308, Number just slightly less than it gives error output.

  • Accurate Measurement of Small Execution Times – Getting Around Measurement Errors Carlos Moreno, Sebastian Fischmeister
    1 Accurate Measurement of Small Execution Times – Getting Around Measurement Errors Carlos Moreno, Sebastian Fischmeister Abstract—Engineers and researchers often require accurate example, a typical mitigation approach consists of executing measurements of small execution times or duration of events in F multiple times, as shown below: a program. Errors in the measurement facility can introduce time start = get_current_time() important challenges, especially when measuring small intervals. Repeat N times: Mitigating approaches commonly used exhibit several issues; in Execute F particular, they only reduce the effect of the error, and never time end = get_current_time() eliminate it. In this letter, we propose a technique to effectively // execution time = (end - start) / N eliminate measurement errors and obtain a robust statistical The execution time that we obtain is subject to the mea- estimate of execution time or duration of events in a program. surement error divided by N; by choosing a large enough The technique is simple to implement, yet it entirely eliminates N, we can make this error arbitrarily low. However, this the systematic (non-random) component of the measurement error, as opposed to simply reduce it. Experimental results approach has several potential issues: (1) repeating N times confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method. can in turn introduce an additional unknown overhead, if coded as a for loop. Furthermore, this is subject to uncertainty in I.

  • The Trade-Off Between Accuracy and Precision in Latent Variable Models of Mediation Processes
    Journal of Personality and Social Psychology © 2011 American Psychological Association 2011, Vol. 101, No. 6, 1174–1188 0022-3514/11/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/a0024776 The Trade-Off Between Accuracy and Precision in Latent Variable Models of Mediation Processes Alison Ledgerwood Patrick E. Shrout University of California, Davis New York University Social psychologists place high importance on understanding mechanisms and frequently employ mediation analyses to shed light on the process underlying an effect. Such analyses can be conducted with observed variables (e.g., a typical regression approach) or latent variables (e.g., a structural equation modeling approach), and choosing between these methods can be a more complex and consequential decision than researchers often realize. The present article adds to the literature on mediation by examining the relative trade-off between accuracy and precision in latent versus observed variable modeling. Whereas past work has shown that latent variable models tend to produce more accurate estimates, we demonstrate that this increase in accuracy comes at the cost of increased standard errors and reduced power, and examine this relative trade-off both theoretically and empirically in a typical 3-variable mediation model across varying levels of effect size and reliability. We discuss implications for social psychologists seeking to uncover mediating variables and provide 3 practical recommendations for maximizing both accuracy and precision in mediation analyses.

  • Numeric Issues in Test Software Correctness
    NUMERIC ISSUES IN TEST SOFTWARE CORRECTNESS Robert G. Hayes, Raytheon Infrared Operations, 805.562.2336, [email protected] Gary B. Hughes, Ph.D., Raytheon Infrared Operations 805.562.2348, [email protected] Phillip M. Dorin, Ph.D., Loyola Marymount University, 310.338.0000, [email protected] Raymond J. Toal, Ph.D., Loyola Marymount University, 310.338.2773, [email protected] ABSTRACT Test system designers are comfortable with the concepts of precision and accuracy with regard to measurements achieved with modern instrumentation. In a well-designed test system, great care is taken to ensure accurate measurements, with rigorous attention to instrument specifications and calibration. However, measurement values are subjected to representation and manipulation as limited precision floating-point numbers by test software. This paper investigates some of the issues related to floating point representation of measurement values, as well as the consequences of algorithm selection. To illustrate, we consider the test case of standard deviation calculations as used in the testing of Infrared Focal Plane Arrays. We consider the concept of using statistically-based techniques for selection of an appropriate algorithm based on measurement values, and offer guidelines for the proper expression and manipulation of measurement values within popular test software programming frameworks. Keywords: measurement accuracy, preCIsIOn, floating-point representation, standard deviation, statistically based algorithm selection, Monte Carlo techniques. 1 INTRODUCTION Some well-known software bugs have resulted in security compromises, sensItive data corruption, bills for items never purchased, spacecraft crashing on other planets, and the loss of human life. Ensuring correctness of software is a necessity. We work toward software correctness via two approaches: testing and formal verification.
