چکیده

All experimental assaydata contains error, but themagnitude, type, andprimaryoriginof this error is o en not obvious. Here, we describe a simple set of assay modeling techniques based on the bootstrap principle that allow sources of error and bias to be simulated and propagated into assay results. We demonstrate how deceptively simple operations—such as the creation of a dilution series with a robotic liquid handler—can significantly amplify imprecision and even contribute substantially to bias. To illustrate these techniques, we review an example of how the choice of dispensing technology can impact assay measurements, and show how large contributions to discrepancies between assays can be easily understood and potentially corrected for. These simplemodeling techniques—illustratedwithanaccompanying IPythonnotebook—can allow modelers to understand the expected error and bias in experimental datasets, and even help experimentalists design assays to more e ectively reach accuracy and imprecision goals.

Statistical Topology Using the Nonparametric Density Estimation and Bootstrap Algorithm

This paper presents approximate confidence intervals for each function of parameters in a Banach space based on a bootstrap algorithm. We apply kernel density approach to estimate the persistence landscape. In addition, we evaluate the quality distribution function estimator of random variables using integrated mean square error (IMSE). The results of simulation studies show a significant impro...

یک الگوریتم جدید برای تشخیص نواحی پوشش‌گیاهی و سایه در تصاویر هوایی/ماهواره‌ای با تفکیک مکانی بالا بر اساس روش تحلیل مولفه‌های اصلی

Evaluation of vegetation cover by using the remote sensing data can provide enhanced results with less time and expense. In this paper, we propose a new automatic algorithm for detection of vegetation and shadow regions in high-resolution satellite/aerial images. It uses only color channels of the image and involves two modeling and evaluation phases. In the modeling phase, after extracting col...

Experimental Investigation and Modeling of Carbon Dioxide Adsorption from Model Flue gas

In this work, the adsorption of carbon dioxide from model flue gas on different adsorbents has been investigated. Using simplified modeling, parameters such as the total mass transfer coefficient and the effective diffusivity have been determined. Experiments were carried out in two sections: firstly, adsorption of pure carbon dioxide on different adsorbents was measured at pressures ranging fr...
