Model uncertainties Sample Clauses

Model uncertainties. A calculation model is a physically based or empirical relation between relevant variables, which are in general random variables: Y = f (X1, X2, ... Xn) (3.2) where Y is the model output, f ( )is the model function and Xi are the basic variables. The model f (...) may be complete and exact, so that, if the values of Xi are known in a particular experiment (from measurements), the outcome Y can be predicted without error. This, however, is not normally the situation. In most cases the model will be incomplete and inexact. This may be the result of lack of knowledge, or a deliberate simplification of the model, for the convenience of the modeller. The difference between the model prediction and the real outcome of the experiment can be expressed as: Y = f ′ (X1 ... Xn, θ1 ... θm) (3.3) θi are referred to as parameters which contain the model uncertainties and are treated as random variables. Their statistical properties can in most cases be derived from experiments or observations. The mean of these parameters should be determined in such a way that, on average, the calculation model correctly predicts the test results.

Model uncertainties. The finite mixture model was built to reflect the City’s conceptual model of stormwater basin discharge concentrations (see Section C4.1.1). There are many assumptions associated with the development of the conceptual model and the mathematical model used for the analysis of this stormwater dataset. A summary of uncertainties in the statistical evaluation is provided below:  The distribution and pattern of stormwater analyte concentrations may be much more complicated than observed. For example, the analyte distribution plots, presented in Attachment C3, often do not show distinct breaks between subpopulations (i.e., groups), but rather a continuous spread of concentrations. This indicates the use of a three- component model may be an oversimplification of a much more complex system. However, the three-component model is useful as a data driven method for identifying groups of basins that are most similar in order to simplify a complex system for policy purposes (i.e., source tracing).  Stormwater sample results for individual sampling events are assumed to be random samples of the underlying distribution of analyte concentrations in each outfall basin. To the extent that these samples are not random, they may provide a biased view of the conditions in each basin.  The model fits well enough to represent the stormwater data set for the purpose of identifying basins for consideration of additional source tracing activities. Inferences obtained from a faulty or ill fitting model may be misleading. There is no gross evidence of lack of fit in the model for the analytes evaluated. However, some variances were noted. For example, the stormwater sample concentrations from one non-City outfall were noted to be more variable than concentrations in other outfall basins; all four copper concentrations in this basin were outside the model estimated 95% confidence intervals for copper. The chance for this condition to have occurred randomly if the variances were the same in each basin is small. It is more likely that the variance of analyte concentrations varies from basin to basin according to other factors. However, investigating factors (grab versus composite sampling, size of basin) that might affect concentration variance did not reveal any way to explain this excess variance in some basins. In addition, the problem seems to affect a small number of basins, with most basins having variability that is consistent from basin to basin.  In the model, composite an...

  • Aggravating and Mitigating Factors The penalties in this matter were determined in consideration of all relevant circumstances, including statutory factors as described in CARB’s Enforcement Policy. CARB considered whether the violator came into compliance quickly and cooperated with the investigation; the extent of harm to public health, safety and welfare; nature and persistence of the violation, including the magnitude of the excess emissions; compliance history; preventative efforts taken; innovative nature and the magnitude of the effort required to comply, and the accuracy, reproducibility, and repeatability of the available test methods; efforts to attain, or provide for, compliance prior to violation; action taken to mitigate the violation; financial burden to the violator; and voluntary disclosure. The penalties are set at levels sufficient to deter violations, to remove any economic benefit or unfair advantage from noncompliance, to obtain swift compliance, and the potential costs, risks, and uncertainty associated with litigation. Penalties in future cases might be smaller or larger depending on the unique circumstances of the case.

  • Mitigating Factors The Contractor had a Trafficking in Persons compliance plan or an awareness program at the time of the violation, was in compliance with the plan, and has taken appropriate remedial actions for the violation, that may include reparation to victims for such violations.

  • RECOGNITION OUTCOMES The receiving institution commits to provide the sending institution and the student with a Transcript of Records within a period stipulated in the inter-institutional agreement and normally not longer than five weeks after publication/proclamation of the student’s results at the receiving institution. The Transcript of Records from the receiving institution will contain at least the minimum information requested in this Learning Agreement template. Table E (or the representation that the institution makes of it) will include all the educational components agreed in table A and, if there were changes to the study programme abroad, in table C. In addition, grade distribution information should be included in the Transcript of Records or attached to it (a web link where this information can be found is enough). The actual start and end dates of the study period will be included according to the following definitions: The start date of the study period is the first day the student has been present at the receiving institution, for example, for the first course, for a welcoming event organised by the host institution or for language and intercultural courses. The end date of the study period is the last day the student has been present at the receiving institution and not his actual date of departure. This is, for example, the end of exams period, courses or mandatory sitting period. Following the receipt of the Transcript of Records from the receiving institution, the sending institution commits to provide to the student a Transcript of Records, without further requirements from the student, and normally within five weeks. The sending institution's Transcript of Records must include at least the information listed in table F (the recognition outcomes) and attach the receiving institution's Transcript of Record. In case of mobility windows, table F may be completed as follows: Component code (if any) Title of recognised component (as indicated in the course catalogue) at the sending institution Number of ECTS credits Sending institution grade, if applicable Mobility window Total: 30 ….. Where applicable, the sending institution will translate the grades received by the student abroad, taking into account the grade distribution information from the receiving institution (see the methodology described in the ECTS Users' Guide). In addition, all the educational components will appear as well in the student's Diploma Supplement. The exact titles from the receiving institution will also be included in the Transcript of Records that is attached to the Diploma Supplement.

  • Self Scheduling The Home and the Union may agree to implement a self-scheduling process. Self-scheduling is the mechanism by which employees in a Home create their own work schedules. The purpose of self scheduling is to improve job satisfaction and quality of work life for the participating employees. Self scheduling requires a collaboration of employees and management to ensure proper coverage of the Home and to meet the provisions of the Collective Agreement. It is agreed that self scheduling will be negotiated locally by the Home and the Union and will include a trial period. Each Home must have the majority agreement of the full-time and part-time employees who vote on the issue to agree on a trial period of up to six months. Once the trial period is complete, each Home must have a minimum of 66⅔% agreement of the full-time and part-time employees who vote on the issue to continue with the new schedule on a permanent basis.
