The relative error of the stress components σrr and σθθ between the methodologies was less than 3.8% within the range from the contact edge to 1 mm, and it increased gradually as the distance from the contact edge increased.
A compromise between these two methodologies is represented by the use of data assimilation scheme to include sparse remote estimates of surface fluxes into continuous modelling.
In this study, the differences between methodologies are probably due to many factors, including low heritability, use of a threshold sire model, and small training population size.
In the wars between paradigms, two conflicting methodologies are increasingly rejected: quantitative scientism, which sees only figures and statistical significance as true science; and post-modern relativism, which gives pride of place to narrative.
The comparisons between the exact solution and simplified methodologies are conducted.
Bland and Altman representations of these differences are shown in Fig. 2, showing a proportional error, i.e., the difference between both methodologies is higher when E′ values are higher.
ComplOverlap approved three images less using G T 1, and two images less using G T 2. However, the consistency between the two methodologies is still verifiable with these results, given that, again, the divergence between the methods was small three and two images, respectively.
The major difference between the two methodologies is how the residuals between the true function value and the polynomial surface approximation value at a design point are treated.
