Delimitation error

Repeating an axiom stated earher, mechanical samplers are designed to extrac t increments of sample from a bulk quantity of material B in a manner that increments S are representative within statistical bounds of the bulk B. Further, the sampler is designed and constructed in conformance to criteria stated previously under Mechanical Delimitations of Sampling to assure that negligible errors arise from mechanical influence. 

This materialization is achieved by first defining the increment to be extracted - an operation termed increment delimitation. After this, the increment must be physically extracted. These two operations are sampling processes each associated with potential errors which are termed the increment delimitation error (IDE) and the increment extraction error (lEE) respectively.

There are many sources and types of errors that can creep into any system of organization of data. They may stem from typographical mistakes, oversight or misunderstanding of the stated concentrations (e.g., parts per billion in Europe refers to 1012, but in North America it refers to 109), misunderstanding of the delimiters used (e.g., the common notation for the value five thousand three hundred in European notation may be 5.300, vs. 5300 in American English) and a variety of other causes. 

Condition (mix) a one-dimensional enclosed liquid or gas stream. Since a cross-streaim sample is impossible to obtain, giving the stream a more homogeneous cross section reduces the grouping and segregation error (GSE) and the impact of incorrect delimitation. It also reduces the impact of taking an incorrect sample.

A sample defined in this way is called correct. A delimitation error occurs when not every part of the lot has an equal chance of being in the sample, in other words, when the defined sample boundary is not correct. 

Once a correct sample has been defined, it must be correctly taken. An extraction error occurs if the sample that has been identified cannot be obtained. In other words, a delimitation error may be avoided by defining a correct boundary for the sample, but if it cannot actually be recovered, then an extraction error is incurred. One of the main impediments to extracting the defined sample is the equipment used. It is especially difficult to sample material in three dimensions such as that in a tank, rail car, landfill, or 100 g of powder in the lab. To obtain a random sample, the bottom of a container as weU as the top must be accessible. While sampling from the top is generally easy and from the bottom difficult, getting a theoretically predefined sample of material from the middle is virtually impossible For liquids, dropping a bottle to the desired depth of a large tank or drum is one way to approximate this, but for solids no practical technique that is also theoretically sound has been developed. 

A vertical core sample is a correct delimitation of a solid flat pile if it represents the whole thickness. Using a thief probe to obtain it, however, produces an extraction error because the thief cannot extract material at the very bottom (Figure A.2). 

Delimitation and extraction errors contribute to both bias and variation, and bias is very difficult to detect unless a special effort is made. As a result, the magnitude of these errors is often unknown and frequently underestimated. It would be extremely unfortunate to learn of a bias via a lawsuit. To avoid bias, a proper tool must be chosen and used correctly. Even if the right equipment is available, additional error is added to the total sampling error if the equipment is not used correctly. 

And even that does not suffice. The range of these two approximations must be delimited it is necessary to fix the limits of error which can be made in the result when the degree of precision of the methods of measuring the data is known. Such are the rigorous conditions that we are bound to impose on mathematical deduction if we wish this absolutely precise language to be able to translate without betraying the physicist s idiom, for the terms of this latter idiom are and always will be vague and inexact like the perceptions which they are to express. On these conditions, but only on these conditions, shall we have a mathematical representation of the approximate. But let us not be deceived about it this mathematics of... 

One factor delimiting accuracy is parameter resolution. The information about ice concentration and ice thickness is not continuous, but mostly given in discrete intervals, for example an ice thickness value of 10-30 cm. At smaller ice thicknesses, differences can be better observed (e.g., visually from the color of the ice) and the brackets are smaller. Therefore also the absolute error in ice thickness is smaller for thin ice then for thicker ice.

In the present case, c = 0 and d = 1, which delimitates the domain of probabilities. Using equation (15), one cans defuzzify the fuzzy probability distributions of success and error presented in Fig. 4. The results obtained are 17.5% for error probability and 8.,5% for success probability. Based on this result, which was considered by the Petrobras managers as very high unsuccessful chances, one decided to not proceed with optical monitoring. The reservoir control will be done by traditional electrical cable and sensors.
