Comment: Assessing Uncertainty in Backprojection
where a = [OK OK-. Thus the most recent infection rates are estimated by extrapolating a linear function. The piecewise constant step function model for I(s) that was used in the early work on backcalculation assumes that infection rates are constant over intervals. Simulation studies of Rosenberg, Gail and Pee (1991) suggest choosing a last step of 4 to 4.5 years in length. Recent infection ra...
متن کاملMeasurement uncertainty.
Measurement uncertainty is a statistical parameter which describes the possible fluctuations of the result of a measurement. It is not a mere repeatability but it is at least as high as the intra-laboratory reproducibility. If it is an attribute of a general analytical test procedure it is at least as high as the inter-laboratory reproducibility. Measurement uncertainty can be determined by the...
متن کاملAssessing the Impact of Measurement Uncertainty on User Models in Spatial Domains
This paper examines the problem of uncertainty due to instrumentation in user modeling systems within spatial domains. We consider the uncertainty of inferring a user’s trajectory within a physical space combined with the uncertainty due to inaccuracies in measuring a user’s position. A framework for modeling both types of uncertainties is presented, and applied to a real-world case study from ...
متن کاملAssessing Differences Between Results Determined According to the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement
In some metrology applications multiple results of measurement for a common measurand are obtained and it is necessary to determine whether the results agree with each other. A result of measurement based on the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) consists of a measured value together with its associated standard uncertainty. In the GUM, the measured value is regarded as...
متن کاملMeasurement uncertainty relations
Measurement uncertainty relations are quantitative bounds on the errors in an approximate joint measurement of two observables. They can be seen as a generalization of the error/disturbance tradeoff first discussed heuristically by Heisenberg. Here we prove such relations for the case of two canonically conjugate observables like position and momentum, and establish a close connection with the ...
