Contaminant discharge and uncertainty estimates from passive flux meter measurements
[1] The passive flux meter (PFM) measures local cumulative water and contaminant fluxes at an observation well. Conditional stochastic simulation accounting for both spatial correlation and data skewness is introduced to interpret passive flux meter observations in terms of probability distributions of discharges across control planes (transects) of wells. An estimator of the effective number o...
متن کاملHow to Describe Measurement Uncertainty and Uncertainty of Expert Estimates?
Measurement and expert estimates are never absolutely accurate. Thus, when we know the result M(u) of measurement or expert estimate, the actual value A(u) of the corresponding quantity may be somewhat different from M(u). In practical applications, it is desirable to know how different it can be, i.e., what are the bounds f(M(u)) ≤ A(u) ≤ g(M(u)). Ideally, we would like to know the tightest bo...
متن کاملA Review of Numerical Methods for Computing Point and Interval Estimates by S-PLUS Package
For computing different point estimates such as method of moment and maximum like-lihood estimates and different interval estimates (classical confidence interval, unbi-ased confidence interval, HPD interval), we may deal with the equations which need be solved numerically. In this paper, some numerical methods for solving these type of equations are reviewed in S-PLUS package. Various examples...
متن کاملEvaluating methods of calculating measurement uncertainty
This communication demonstrates the need for independent validation when an uncertainty calculation procedure is applied to a particular type of measurement problem. A simple measurement scenario is used to highlight differences in the performance of two general methods of uncertainty calculation, one from the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) and one from Supplement 1...
متن کاملUncertainty of Volatility Estimates from Heston Greeks
Volatility is a widely recognized measure of market risk. As volatility is not observed it has to be estimated from market prices, i.e., as the implied volatility from option prices. The volatility index VIX making volatility a tradeable asset in its own right is computed from nearand next-term put and call options on the S&P 500 with more than 23 days and less than 37 days to expiration and no...
