Figures of merit for stellarators near the magnetic axis

Figures of Merit for Best - FirstProbabilistic Chart

Best-rst parsing methods for natural language try to parse ee-ciently by considering the most likely constituents rst. Some gure of merit is needed by which to compare the likelihood of constituents, and the choice of this gure has a substantial impact on the eeciency of the parser. While several parsers described in the literature have used such techniques, there is no published data on their ...

Figures of merit for color scanners

In the design and evaluation of color scanners and cameras, it is useful to have a single figure of merit that closely agrees with perceived color accuracy. In the past, several measures of goodness for color scanning filters have been proposed to fulfil such a requirement. Most of the proposed measures have had shortcomings in that they are either based on error metrics in color spaces that ar...

Merit Figures for the Optical Design of CSP Plants

This work proposes some optical merit figures useful for solar concentration in the phase of optical design. The examined systems are CSP (concentrated solar power) plants with heliostats fields. In order to characterize them, it is suggested to use some optical merit figures, applicable to every CSP plant and synthetize its optical performance. The proposed merit figures have the aim of assess...

Uncertainty Estimation and Figures of Merit for Multivariate Calibration

This paper gives an introduction to multivariate calibration from a chemometrics perspective and reviews the various proposals to generalize the well-established univariate methodology to the multivariate domain. Univariate calibration leads to relatively simple models with a sound statistical underpinning. The associated uncertainty estimation and figures of merit are thoroughly covered in sev...
