Factor of safety and probability of failure Introduction How does one assess the acceptability of an engineering design? Relying on judgement alone can lead to one of the two extremes illustrated in Figure 1. The first case is economically unacceptable while the example illustrated in the drawing on the right violates all normal safety standards. Sensitivity studies The classical approach used in designing engineering structures is to consider the relationship between the capacity C (strength

Sampling methods[edit] Within any of the types of frame identified above‚ a variety of sampling methods can be employed‚ individually or in combination. Factors commonly influencing the choice between these designs include: Nature and quality of the frame Availability of auxiliary information about units on the frame Accuracy requirements‚ and the need to measure accuracy Whether detailed analysis of the sample is expected Cost/operational concerns Simple random sampling [edit] Main article: Simple

ABSTRACT: We study complexity of finding a local minimum in the worst and the average cases. We introduce several neighborhoods and show that the corresponding. In the average case we note that standard local descent algorithm is polynomial. INTRODUCTION: An algorithm is a set of instructions to be followed to solve a problem Worst‚ Average and Best Cases In the previous post‚ we discussed how asymptotic analysis overcomes the problems of naive way of analyzing algorithms

* Advantages and Disadvantages of the Experimental Design Advantages: * As well as controlling the independent variable the experimenter attempts to eliminate unwanted extraneous variables. * Control over extraneous variables is usually greater than in other research methods. * Experimental design involves manipulating the independent variable to observe the effect on the dependent variable. This makes it possible to determine a cause and effect relationship. * Because of strict

Bayes’ theorem describes the relationships that exist within an array of simple and conditional probabilities. For example: Suppose there is a certain disease randomly found in one-half of one percent (.005) of the general population. A certain clinical blood test is 99 percent (.99) effective in detecting the presence of this disease; that is‚ it will yield an accurate positive result in 99 percent of the cases where the disease is actually present. But it also yields false-positive results in 5
