Methodology for characterization of representativeness uncertainty in performance indicator measurements of thermal and nuclear power plants
… for the uncertainty sources. Second, a non-parametric formulation of the Methodology framework is developed and demonstrated. The use of non-parametric techniques allows the quantification and integration of uncertainties that are not expressed by the normal probability distribution. The …

Evaluation of bootstrapping as a validation technique for population pharmacokinetic models
… of the current study to evaluate the ability of bootstrapping to identify PPKMs that were estimated from data without influence observations versus PPKMs from data containing influence observations. The evaluation was performed in four phases. In phase I, ten no-influence index datasets and ten …

Essays on complexity and causality in political science research
… The second essay examines the performance of bootstrap methods for quantifying the uncertainty of causal effect estimates from matching. In particular, it investigates the performance of three existing approaches as well as a newly developed one. The proposed non-parametric bootstrap method …

New panel unit root and cointegration tests of purchasing power parity
… cross section dependence by extending the bootstrap panel unit root proposed by Maddala and Wu (1999) and apply the latter to a panel of twenty OECD real exchange rates. We also use Monte Carlo simulations to examine the size properties of the proposed bootstrap panel test. If on one hand …

Historical baselines and a century of change in the demersal fish assemblages on South Africa's Agulhas Bank
… between periods were tested for 27 taxa, using a non-parametric bootstrap approach. Proportions among size-classes, recorded for three taxa, were tested using Fisher's exact test. Results revealed a substantially transformed demersal catch assemblage, where the period effect explained almost half …
