Uncertainty-Based Scale Identification and Process–Topography Interaction Analysis via Bootstrap: Application to Grit Blasting by François Berkmans, Julie Lemesle, Robin Guibert, Michal Wieczorowski, Christopher Brown, Maxence Bigerelle

“…Additionally, insights from a similar study on the multiscale Sdq parameter and blasting pressure correlation are integrated, emphasizing a scale relevance akin to our Sdr method’s 120 µm cut-off length. Overall, our findings suggest a pertinent scale of 10,000 µm² for the Patchwork method and a 120 µm cut-off length for the Sdr method, derived from bootstrapping on residual regression across all media. …”
