  4. Experimental uncertainty analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_uncertainty...

    The form of Eq(12) is usually the goal of a sensitivity analysis, since it is general, i.e., not tied to a specific set of parameter values, as was the case for the direct-calculation method of Eq(3) or (4), and it is clear basically by inspection which parameters have the most effect should they have systematic errors.

  5. Engineering design process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_design_process

    The engineering design process, also known as the engineering method, is a common series of steps that engineers use in creating functional products and processes. The process is highly iterative – parts of the process often need to be repeated many times before another can be entered – though the part(s) that get iterated and the number of such cycles in any given project may vary.

  6. Propagation of uncertainty - Wikipedia

    Any non-linear differentiable function, (,), of two variables, and , can be expanded as + +. If we take the variance on both sides and use the formula [11] for the variance of a linear combination of variables ⁡ (+) = ⁡ + ⁡ + ⁡ (,), then we obtain | | + | | +, where is the standard deviation of the function , is the standard deviation of , is the standard deviation of and = is the ...

  7. Accuracy and precision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accuracy_and_precision

    In the fields of science and engineering, the accuracy of a measurement system is the degree of closeness of measurements of a quantity to that quantity's true value. [3] The precision of a measurement system, related to reproducibility and repeatability , is the degree to which repeated measurements under unchanged conditions show the same ...

    In the field of computer science, the method is called generate and test (brute force). In elementary algebra , when solving equations, it is called guess and check . [ citation needed ]

  9. Scientific misconduct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_misconduct

    It is the violation of scientific integrity: violation of the scientific method and of research ethics in science, including in the design, conduct, and reporting of research. A Lancet review on Handling of Scientific Misconduct in Scandinavian countries provides the following sample definitions, [1] reproduced in The COPE report 1999: [2]
