Knowledge of distribution type and quantification of variability are fundamental for evaluation of characteristic values for use in design as well as inputs for reliability analyses.
This poses a serious problem for reliable quantification since variability of scan start time relative to the time of injection is a persistent issue in clinical oncological Positron emission tomography (PET).
In the present study, the quantification of variability was based on the use of relative % MVC target levels and not absolute levels of force, as suggested previously for a generalized description of force variability during isometric actions (Christou et al. 2002).
Higgins and Thompson [ 10] specified three criteria that should be met by any quantification of variability between trials included in a meta-analysis: 1) the quantity should be a monotonically increasing function of the between-study variance, τ; 2) the quantity should be scale invariant; and 3) the quantity should be independent of the number of included trials.
These models were superimposed over modern aerial imagery to evaluate the extent of pollution for each government-regulated element with simultaneous consideration and quantification of spatial variability in naturally occurring soil elements.
The framework extends earlier work on the automated analysis of gait parameters to include analysis of the gait acceleration data which can enable the quantification of the variability, rhythmic pattern and stability of pedestrian's gait.
These include quantification of genetic variability and inbreeding, parentage assignments, species and strain identification, construction of high-resolution genetic linkage maps for aquaculture species and the detection of quantitative trait loci.
Flow rate also varies seasonally in many (but not all) karezes, although there has been little quantification of the variability.
The mixing models we have detailed allow explicit quantification of dietary variability across multiple scales (population, group, individual) and diet estimates for each consumer.
Quantification of sequence variability was performed by first estimating the transition probability distributions of individual syllables, then calculating the scaled entropy of the distribution for each syllable, and finally averaging across syllables to obtain a score of motif entropy [16], [35].
