Measures of intensity discrimination

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1982
Several different measures have been employed in the literature to describe performance by human observers in intensity discrimination tasks. These measures include the difference limen (DL) or ’’ΔI in dB,’’ the Weber fraction (ΔI/I), and signal-to-masker ratio (Ps/Pm).

Measuring Patient Intensity

Evaluation & the Health Professions, 1989
The purpose of this study was to determine the interrater reliability for each of 12 dimensions of a measure of Patient Intensity for Nursing (PIN!). Three hospitals in two states participated in this project with 121 Registered Nurses prepared in the use of the PINI.

Intensity measure conversion of fragility curves

Earthquake engineering & structural dynamics (Print), 2020
In seismic risk assessment of structures, fragility functions are the probabilistic characterization of vulnerability at the component and/or structural level, expressing the probability of failure as a function of a ground motion intensity measure (IM).

Ground motion selection based on a multi‐intensity‐measure conditioning approach with emphasis on diverse earthquake contents

Earthquake engineering & structural dynamics (Print), 2020
One of the main tasks in performance‐based seismic risk assessment and design of structures is the quantification of uncertainty due to earthquake ground motion (GM) records.

Preference intensity measurement

Annals of Operations Research, 1989
The concept of preference intensity has been criticized over the past sixty years for having no substantive meaning. Much of the controversy stems from the inadequacy of measurement procedures. In reviewing the shortcomings of existing procedures, we identify three objectives for developing a satisfactory procedure: (1) the capability of validating ...

Influence of intensity measure selection on simulation-based regional seismic risk assessment

, 2020
This study investigates the influence of intensity measure (IM) selection on simulation-based regional seismic risk assessment (RSRA) of spatially distributed structural portfolios.

Evaluation of FIV3 as an Intensity Measure for Collapse Estimation of Moment-Resisting Frame Buildings

, 2020
Seismic collapse estimations strongly depend on selecting an intensity measure that minimizes the dispersion in collapse capacities and any possible bias.

Probabilistic assessment of vehicle derailment based on optimal ground motion intensity measure

Vehicle System Dynamics, 2020
Railway vehicles frequently have derailed during major earthquakes. Although a probabilistic approach based on fragility analysis was established in structural engineering, it has never been applied to railway vehicles. Thus, the aim of this study was to

Measuring people intensively.

Canadian Psychology / Psychologie canadienne, 2009
An overview is provided of measures that are administered repeatedly in daily life. Variations of thismethodology have been referred to as ecological momentary assessment, diary methods, daily processmeasures, and most broadly as intensive repeated measures in naturalistic settings (IRM-NS).

Evaluation of the Scaling Factor Bias Influence on the Probability of Collapse Using S a (T1) as the Intensity Measure

Earthquake spectra, 2019
Amplitude scaling is a common approach to modify recorded ground motions to achieve a desired intensity level. The possible bias introduced by scaling the amplitude of ground motions when using the first-mode spectral ordinate as the intensity measure is
