Measures of fine tuning [PDF]

, 1995
Fine-tuning criteria are frequently used to place upper limits on the masses of superpartners in supersymmetric extensions of the standard model. However, commonly used prescriptions for quantifying naturalness have some important shortcomings. Motivated

Validation of an Inertial Sensor System for Swing Analysis in Golf

Proceedings, 2018
Wearable inertial sensor systems are an upcoming tool for self-evaluation in sports, and can be used for swing analysis in golf. The aim of this work was to determine the validity and repeatability of an inertial sensor system attached to a player’s ...

Examination of 2D frontal and sagittal markerless motion capture: Implications for markerless applications.

PLoS ONE, 2023
This study examined if occluded joint locations, obtained from 2D markerless motion capture (single camera view), produced 2D joint angles with reduced agreement compared to visible joints, and if 2D frontal plane joint angles were usable for practical ...

To have value, comparisons of high-throughput phenotyping methods need statistical tests of bias and variance

Frontiers in Plant Science
The gap between genomics and phenomics is narrowing. The rate at which it is narrowing, however, is being slowed by improper statistical comparison of methods.

Are we missing the sitting? Agreement between accelerometer non-wear time validation methods used with older adults’ data

Cogent Medicine, 2017
We used Bland Altman plots to compare agreement between a self-report diary and five different non-wear time algorithms [an algorithm that uses ≥60 min of consecutive zeroes (Troiano) and four variations of an algorithm that uses ≥90 min of consecutive ...

Test–retest reliability of contrast visual acuities in a clinical population

African Vision and Eye Health, 2017
Background: Previously, contrast visual acuities (VA) have been evaluated as a potential screening, diagnostic and predictive tool in cases where standard visual acuity remains intact.

Estimating cardiac output based on gas exchange during veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in a simulation study using paediatric oxygenators

Scientific Reports, 2021
Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) therapy is a rescue strategy for severe cardiopulmonary failure. The estimation of cardiac output during VA-ECMO is challenging.

Fundamental Limits of Byzantine Agreement

, 2020
Byzantine agreement (BA) is a distributed consensus problem where $n$ processors want to reach agreement on an $\ell$-bit message or value, but up to $t$ of the processors are dishonest or faulty. The challenge of this BA problem lies in achieving agreement despite the presence of dishonest processors who may arbitrarily deviate from the designed ...

Measuring Claw Conformation in Cattle: Assessing the Agreement between Manual and Digital Measurement

Animals, 2015
Five measurements of claw conformation (toe angle, claw height, claw width, toe length and abaxial groove length) taken directly from the hoof were compared with the measurements taken from digital images of the same claws.
