Learning and Smooth Simultaneous Estimation of Errors Based on Empirical Data
… unknown binary-valued function. Based on this empirical data, the student must select, from a set of candidate functions, a particular function, or "hypothesis," that will accurately predict the labels of future sample points. The expected mismatch between its prediction and the label of a new …

Sunspaces for passive building heating: calculation models and utilization of empirical data
… is played by experimental campaigns. In fact, empirical data have been collected in relation both to existing sunspaces and to sunspaces which were specifically constructed for the research. Two sunspaces, one having the dimensions of a small room and the other one which is its scale model, …

Establishment & Assessment of the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagrams for the City of Durban Freeway Network Using Empirical Data
… route 2 and 3. The study used loop detector data extracted from a total of 88 loop detector stations. The loop detector stations were dispersed 100-500 m apart over the network. The data was recorded in September 2019. The collected data was analysed in five minutes intervals. When the MFD …

Developing a gene model for simulations that incorporates multi-species conservation
… Models whose predictions are inconsistent with empirical data can be rejected. We extended a gene simulation model previously published by our lab. The distribution of number and length of coding and intron regions of each simulated gene was consistent with the distribution in the human genome. …

Web-based computer simulation of lead-acid batteries
… reports, and textbooks. When compared to empirical data from SLA manufacturers, the model showed little variance. Simulator charge voltage shows an average difference of 2.1 % when compared to empirical data while simulator predicted capacity overlaps manufacturers' data. Open circuit …

Investigation of the dynamic relationship between communication and shared interpretations: A networks approach
… and positional network link models. While the empirical data was limited, the analysis indicated that the hypotheses will be supported by an analysis with a complete set of empirical data. The data analysis also had implications for studying contrasts between the two network link models.

Luce's Challenge: Quantitative Models and Statistical Methodology
… model a decision process via random variables. Empirical data, on the other hand, are intrinsically outcomes of random variables. Thus, there exists a conceptual and mathematical gap between deterministic decision theories and the empirical data used to test those theories. This body of work …

Analysis of sourcing & procurement practices : a cross industry framework
… chain excellence and the research builds on empirical data from case studies, literature survey and interviews with industry experts. By assessing the empirical data and the various practices, a framework is proposed to address the different options that the firms can use relative to the …
