This paper proposes a more comprehensive look at the ideas of KS and Area Under the Curve AUC of a cumulative gains chart to develop a model quality statistic which can be used agnostically to evaluate the quality of a wide range of models in a standardized fashion. It can be either used holistically on the entire range of the model or at a given decision threshold of the model. Further it can ...

Water quality models have reached a high degree of sophistication, but their weak side remains user interface and output georeferencing. The aim of this paper is to propose an interfacing procedure between two widespread but specialised programming environments: ArcVIEW as a Geographical Information System (GIS) and Matlab as a scientific programming tool for numerical analysis. The proposed so...

Software quality is one of the major components of software development industry. Every user wants to have software enriched with the best quality factors. If a user is not satisfied with the quality of the product it will definitely be not considered as a quality product. To ensure the quality of the product several quality model has been introduced. One of the most renowned software quality m...

quality of products and services is considered as a key factor for customer satisfaction. quality function deployment (qfd) is known as a critical tool for translating voice of customers to prioritize technical requirements of a production. the level of this satisfaction depends on the number of fulfilled requirements. it should be noted that this level varies according to the possible constrai...

This paper reviews methods to evaluate the performance of air quality models, which are tools that predict the fate of gases and aerosols upon their release into the atmosphere. Because of the large economic, public health, and environmental impacts often associated with the use of air quality model results, it is important that these models be properly evaluated. A comprehensive model evaluati...

Model quality evaluation in set–membership identification is investigated. In the recent literature, two main approaches have been used to investigate this problem, based on the concepts of n-width and of radius of information. In this paper it is shown that the nwidth is related to the asymptotic value of the conditional radius of information of the identification problem with noise free measu...

Despite several years of mashup practice and research, it is still hard to find high-quality, useful mashups on the Web. While this can be partly ascribed to the low quality of the components used in the mashups or simply to the lack of suitable components, in this paper we argue that this is partly also due to the lack of suitable quality models for mashups themselves, helping developers to fo...

Set membershipH1 identification is investigated using time-domain data and mixed parametric and nonparametric models as well as supposing power bounded measurement errors. The problem of optimally estimating the unknown parameters and evaluating the minimal worst case identification error, called radius of information, is solved. For classes of models affine in the parameters, the radius of inf...
