Evaluating Training

Model building consists of three steps training, evaluation, and testing. In the ideal case the whole training data set is divided into three portions, the training, the evaluation set, and the test set. A wide variety of statistical or neural network... 

It would be an understatement to say that the gas expander turbine forms a major part of the power train. Evaluating off-design performance for the expander installed in the Sinopec Jinan Oil Refinery is presented as an example of an appropriate evaluation method. It should be noted that calculations are based on actual field measurements and plant experience. 

As you will perhaps already know from training evaluation, this level is by far the most difficult to establish. This is usually attributed to training having indirect, subtle and long-term effects rather than directly measurable short-term ones. The same applies to mentoring - i.e. outcomes are often abstract and not quantifiable, at least not over the short-term. 

Sensory methods have the ability to detect spoilage of either cooked or raw products. Because of this advantage, sensory methods are used as standards by agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for regulatory purposes. The shortcomings of such procedures are the subjective nature of the evaluations, which typically causes greater deviation than objective evaluations, and the need for trained evaluators. 

Quantitative measurements of S require additional screening of temporal fluctuations of the photon flux—the so-called temporal coherence gc. Because the chromophore is excited in the first cycle of the pulse train, evaluation of gc is needed for only one excitation cycle. Defining th as the excitation pulse width and/itH as the duty cycle, gc is expressed by Eq. (41).

Wexley and Latham (1981) defined four levels of training evaluation—student reaction, learning, behavioral criteria, and results criteria. Each measure is used to assess different aspects of the value of an event.
