Deviation optimum

The ITAE is sensitive to initial and, to a certain extent, unavoidable deviations. Optimum control responses defined through ITAE consequently have short response times and larger overshoots than in the case of the other two aiteria. However, ITAE has proven to be very useful for evaluating the regulation of coating processes. 

The maximum number of latent variables is the smaller of the number of x values or the number of molecules. However, there is an optimum number of latent variables in the model beyond which the predictive ability of the model does not increase. A number of methods have been proposed to decide how many latent variables to use. One approach is to use a cross-validation method, which involves adding successive latent variables. Both leave-one-out and the group-based methods can be applied. As the number of latent variables increases, the cross-validated will first increase and then either reach a plateau or even decrease. Another parameter that can be used to choose the appropriate number of latent variables is the standard deviation of the error of the predictions, SpREss ... 

Investigated is the influence of the purity degree and concentration of sulfuric acid used for samples dissolution, on the analysis precision. Chosen are optimum conditions of sample preparation for the analysis excluding loss of Ce(IV) due to its interaction with organic impurities-reducers present in sulfuric acid. The photometric technique for Ce(IV) 0.002 - 0.1 % determination in alkaline and rare-earth borates is worked out. The technique based on o-tolidine oxidation by Ce(IV). The relative standard deviation is 0.02-0.1. 

As with PSA, the phenolics are added primarily for increased cohesive strength and temperature resistance ([216], pp. 284-306). More phenolic is used in adhesives with higher strength requirements, e.g. for metal-metal bonding. Resins based on /j-/-butyl phenolics are most commonly selected ([216], pp. 284-306). They are usually present in the adhesive at 35-50 parts per 100 rubber (phr), with typical optima at 40-45 phr ([216], pp. 284-306). Significant deviation from this optimum may have drastic effects. 

Reference to Figure 19.1 shows how efficiency can be adversely affected by deviation from the optimum air/gas ratio. By maintaining combustion close to stoichiometric, efficiency will be improved, but the practical limitations of burners discussed above must be noted. 

The natural expansion has here also another important optimum convergency property. If this expansion is interrupted after r terms, the renormalized truncated function Wr has the smallest total deviation from the exact solution ... 

Fig. 5.17. Time domain CARS of nitrogen under normal conditions. Points designate experimental data, solid line calculation with a = 6.0 A, b = 0.024, c = 0.0015. The insert depicts the dependences of the relative mean-square deviation on each of the parameters , b and c, the other two being fixed at their optimum values. The deviations are expressed as percentage of optimum parameters.

The specified amount is, in many instances, just a piece of guesswork since expensive studies of sampling behavior were not incorporated in the certification process. However, the certification process has established that the recommended amount provides sufficient analyte for a reproducible value with many of the analytical techniques operating at an optimal level. Deviation in sample size may change the optimum and reproducible response of some analytical techniques. 

Extracolumn dispersion is a major problem for the packed fused silica capillary columns with internal diameters less than 0.35 mm. Peak standeunl deviations will be in the submicroliter range and extensive equipment modification is required for operation under optimum conditions. A reasonable compromise is to esploy injection voluMs of a few hundred nanoliters or less with detector volumes of a similar or preferably smaller size. This demands considerable ingenuity on behalf of the analyst since, as... 

The only problem with this method is observed for weak reflections where (+)/(-) count-rates are similar (i.e. R 1). The (+)/(-) optimised counting-time proportions must be 50%/50%, but with low count-rates, we have observed that the lack of precision may lead to proportions which are not optimum (e.g. 47%/53%). The same behaviour has been observed for peak to background proportions. In fact, when measuring a flipping ratio in many steps, we observe oscillations of the time proportions which slow the decrease of the standard deviation. Of course, these time variations have no sense, and one should calculate the variances of the optimised counting-times (Equations (16)) to avoid such spurious fluctuations ... 

However, that only addresses the limiting case. We are interested in the behavior of the standard deviation of AA/A in this whole intermediate regime, so that we can determine the optimum sample transmittance, just as we did before, for data measured... 

The results are shown in Figure 45-11. It is obvious that for values of Ex greater than five (standard deviations of the noise), the optimum transmittance remains at the level we noted previously, 33 %T. When the reference energy level falls below five standard deviations, however, the optimum transmittance starts to decrease. The erratic nature of the variance at these low values of Ex, however, makes it difficult to ascertain the exact amount of falloff with any degree of precision nevertheless it is clear that as much as we can talk about an optimum transmittance level under these conditions, where variance can become infinite and the actual transmittance value itself is affected, it decreases at such low values of Ex. Nevertheless, a close look reveals that when... 

Er has dropped to five standard deviations, the optimum transmittance has dropped to 3.2, and then drops off quickly below that value. Surprisingly, the optimum value of transmittance appears to reach a minimum value, and then increase again as Er continues to decrease. It is not entirely clear whether this is simply appearance or actually reflects the correct description of the behavior of the noise in this regime, given the unstable nature of the variance values upon which it is based. In fact, originally these curves were computed only for values of Er equal to or greater than three due to the expectation that no reasonable results could be obtained at lower values of Er. However, when the unexpectedly smooth decrease in the optimum value of %T was observed down to that level, it seemed prudent to extend the calculations to still lower values, whereupon the results in Figure 45-11 were obtained.
