Efficient Evaluation of Reliability-Oriented Sensitivity Indices

Efficient Estimation of Sensitivity Indices

The Reliability and Sensitivity of Indices Related to Cardiovascular Fitness Evaluation

Determining the recovery heart rate (RHR) index after various submaximal exercises is a popular and practical way for a population’s cardiovascular fitness evaluation. These evaluations are based on the regression among RHR, load intensity, and maximal oxygen uptake. However, little work has been done to 1) explore the influences of body weight and height on these tests’ reliability and sensiti...

Efficient Sensitivity Analysis of Reliability in Embedded Software

The reliability of software architectures is an important quality attribute to consider in the design of embedded software systems. Reliability is especially important in safety-critical systems where human health and safety is often at stake. Researchers have developed a number of models that can estimate the reliability of software systems at design time. These models use matrix operations of...

Evaluation of Soil Liquefaction Potential by Sensitivity Analysis, Reliability and Data validation

In this study, it is attempted to analyze sensitivity and reliability in order to evaluate the liquefaction potential in soil layers in Tabriz. 62 boreholes that had possible conditions for liquefaction were selected. Seismic mapping was simulated using finite fault method and then the effect of soil layers on PGA was estimated. In continue, the liquefaction potential index was estimated and th...

Fuzzy Indices of Document Reliability

This paper presents a first step toward the formalization of the concept of document reliability in the context of Information Retrieval (and Information Filtering). Our proposal is based on the hypothesis that the evaluation of the relevance of a document can also depend on the concept of reliability of a document. This concept has the following properties: (i) it is user-dependent, i.e., a do...
