Interval sampling methods and measurement error: A computer simulation

Interval sampling methods and measurement error: a computer simulation.

A simulation study was conducted to provide a more thorough account of measurement error associated with interval sampling methods. A computer program simulated the application of momentary time sampling, partial-interval recording, and whole-interval recording methods on target events randomly distributed across an observation period. The simulation yielded measures of error for multiple combi...

Sampling and measurement methods for a study of childhood refractive error in a UK population.

BACKGROUND There is a paucity of data describing the prevalence of childhood refractive error in the United Kingdom. The Northern Ireland Childhood Errors of Refraction study, along with its sister study the Aston Eye Study, are the first population-based surveys of children using both random cluster sampling and cycloplegic autorefraction to quantify levels of refractive error in the United Ki...

Simulation - Extrapolation : the Measurement Error

Strictly Deterministic Sampling Methods in Computer Graphics

We introduce a strictly deterministic, meaning non-random, rendering method, which performs superior to state of the art Monte Carlo techniques. Its simple and elegant implementation on parallel computer architectures is capable of simulating anti-aliasing, motion blur, depth of field, area light sources, glossy reflection and transmission, participating media, and global illumination. We provi...

Deterministic error model for quantum computer simulation

Quantum computers QCs must implement quantum error correcting codes QECCs to protect their logical qubits from errors, and modeling the effectiveness of QECCs on QCs is an important problem for evaluating the QC architecture. The previously developed Monte Carlo MC error models may take days or weeks of execution to produce an accurate result due to their random sampling approach. We present an...
