To facilitate the engineering design of these connectors at low temperature conditions, this paper integrates the enhancement factors of the steel and concrete materials in a shear resistance estimation recommended in Eurocode 4.
The models were fitted using robust diagonally weighted least squares method of estimation recommended for the analysis of ordinal data.
For maximum-likelihood estimation, we recommend using MOM estimates to start the iterative search for MLEs.
The maximum-likelihood estimation was implemented in PHYML 3.0 [67] without substitution rate heterogeneity correction or invariant estimation as recommended by Modeltest.
Due to the presence of some extreme values in the sample, robust regression estimation is recommended.10 We will also include some weighted least squares (WLS) estimates to control the quality of the studies.11.11
Our results indicate that the global velocity estimation approach recommended by Yeh [Yeh, G.-T., 1981.
Finally, to avoid further excessive adjustment of software release time, interval estimation is recommended for use and it can be obtained based on the results from global sensitivity analysis.
In Section 4, the obtained statistics are compared with the predicted statistics calculated from measured atmospheric parameters such as atmospheric visibility and the rain rate using estimation methods recommended by ITU-R.
These methods are used to obtain the IDF curves for six different durations (10, 20, 30 min, and 1, 2, 24 h) and six frequency periods (2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 years) where the best method of IDF estimation is recommended for future analysis.
We demonstrate why bias contributions should also be included in AAR uncertainty estimation and recommend that the preparation of defined reference materials are seen as a priority in order to control and correct for systematic error influences in the analytical system.
