The assumption on the mass error distribution of fragment ions plays a crucial role in peptide identification by tandem mass spectra. Previous mass error models are the simplistic uniform or normal distribution with empirically set parameter values. In this paper, we propose a more accurate mass error model, namely conditional normal model, and an iterative parameter learning algorithm. The new...

 Abstract: Local flux may be distorted in many regions of core, although total flux is usually sinusoidal. When attempting to predict the loss distribution in materials operating under localized distorted flux conditions, which occur in machines and transformer cores, it is essential that proper account of the waveform be taken. Moreover for development of new magnetic materials and generation ...

A simulation study has been performed in order to show the influence of the aerosol optical depth (AOD) distribution together with the corresponding error distribution on the resulting Ångström exponent (AE) distribution. It will be shown that the Ångström exponent frequency of occurrence distribution is only normal distributed when the relative error at the two wavelengths used for estimation ...

The measurement of the ultra high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) spectrum is strongly affected by uncertainties on the reconstructed energy. The determination of the presence or absence of the GZK cutoff and its position in the energy spectrum depends not only on high statistics but also on the shape of the energy error distribution. Here we determine the energy error distribution for fluorescence t...

Model selection [e.g., 1] is considered the problem of choosing a hypothesis language which provides an optimal balance between low empirical error and high structural complexity. In this Abstract, we discuss the intuition of a new, very efficient approach to model selection. Our approach is inherently Bayesian [e.g., 2], but instead of using priors on target functions or hypotheses, we talk ab...

This study examines the error distribution of aggregated MPDUs in 802.11n networks and whether or not forward error correction like raptor coding at the link layer would be useful in these networks. Several experiments with Qualcomm 4x4 802.11n hardware were performed. Two devices were used in a data link, while a third device sniffed all transmitted packets. The collected data was analyzed and...
