Sampling, data

Data transmission rate per foot is a function of both pulse frequency and rate of penetration. Sensors acquire and transmit data samples at fixed time intervals and therefore the sampling per foot is a function of rate of penetration. Current tools allow a real time sampling and transmission rate similar to wireline tools as long as the penetration rate does not exceed about 100 ft/h. If drilling progresses faster or if there are significant variations in penetration rate, resampling by depth as opposed to time intervals may be required. 

Edcfy-cufrent NDT inspections using spatial data (sampled scans) ha >e many benefits. They separate the two conflicting aspects of an inspection scanning and signal interpretation. An instrument/display (client/server) based NDT inspection based on sampled scan data aides in the training and certification of inspectors. It can be used over the Internet or in-house Intranet networks to train or examine inspectors at multiple or remote sites. This saves travel time and resources as defects, instrumentation and teaching can all be consolidated Samples can be maintained and distributed from a central certification body providing more control andflexibility. 

Although this is a complicated expression, the results can be given a simple interpretation. The data sample size is n, whereas the prior sample size is Ko, and therefore J. is the weighted average of the prior data and the actual data. al is the weighted average of the prior variance (Go), the data variance (5-), and a tenn from the difference in the prior...

The standard requires the acceptance criteria for attibute data sampling plans to be zero defects. 

Frequency analysis is an alternative to moment-ratio analysis in selecting a representative function. Probability paper (see Figure 1-59 for an example) is available for each distribution, and the function is presented as a cumulative probability function. If the data sample has the same distribution function as the function used to scale the paper, the data will plot as a straight line. 

The specimen has no specified size. Specimens for this test may consist of any standard fabricated test specimen or cut/punch pieces of sheet or machined sample. Specimens are mounted outdoors on racks slanted at 45° and facing south. It is recommended that concurrent exposure be carried out in many varied climates to obtain the broadest, most representative total body of data. Sample specimens are kept indoors as controls and for comparison. Reports of weathering describe all changes noted, areas of exposure, and period of time.

The strategy depends on the situation and how we measure the concentration. If we can rely on pH or absorbance (UV, visible, or Infrared spectrometer), the sensor response time can be reasonably fast, and we can make our decision based on the actual process dynamics. Most likely we would be thinking along the lines of PI or PID controllers. If we can only use gas chromatography (GC) or other slow analytical methods to measure concentration, we must consider discrete data sampling control. Indeed, prevalent time delay makes chemical process control unique and, in a sense, more difficult than many mechanical or electrical systems.

Furthermore, due to large variations both in concentrations and the ratio of the individual pollutants obtained, not only from the data acquired during the sampling campaigns discussed in this chapter, but also those described in Chapter 4, it is evident that in order to obtain statistically relevant data, sampling campaigns should at least span a period of several months. 

The value of fEdetermines all other variables in the equations above. In turn, fE is determined by the temporal resolution of interest of the system studied. To resolve an average excited state lifetime t, the required data sampling rate, in frequency domain techniques is at least an order ofmagnitude slower than it is in the time domain as stated by the following relation (when Np > 32 and Nw= 1) ... 

Theoretical considerations shown in the above equation also indicate that peak area precision is inversely proportional to the peak sig-nal/noise ratio, and to the number of sampling points across the peak width. For very noisy peaks, the peak area precision is limited by random noise fluctuations (Figure 6). Figure 7 shows that the precision of the peak area degrades rapidly when the signal-to-noise ratio is less than 100. Statistical considerations also stipulate a minimum data sampling... 

Improve S/N ratio of peaks to >50 if possible and use a data sampling rate of >8 points/peak. 

In addition to the temporal correlation coefficient, the spatial correlation coefficient was calculated approximately for fixed values of time. Except for one of the mathematical models, all techniques showed a better temporal correlation than spatial correlation. The two correlation coefficients are cross plotted in Figure 5-6. Nappo stressed that correlation coefficients express fidelity in predicting tends, rather than accuracy in absolute concentration predictions. Another measure is used for assessing accuracy in predicting concentrations the ratio of predicted to observed concentration. Nappo averaged this ratio over space and over time and extracted the standard deviation of the data sample for each. The standard deviation expresses consistency of accuracy for each model. For example, a model might have a predicted observed ratio near unity,...
