A New Method for Predicting the Permeability of Sandstone in Deep Reservoirs by Feisheng Feng, Pan Wang, Zhen Wei, Guanghui Jiang, Dongjing Xu, Jiqiang Zhang, Jing Zhang

“…Based on previous research data on the mercury injection capillary pressure (MICP) for two groups of core plugs excised, several permeability prediction models, including Swanson, improved Swanson, capillary parachor, improved capillary parachor, and support vector regression (SVR) models, are established to estimate the permeability. The results show that the SVR models are applicable in both high and relatively low porosity-permeability sandstone reservoirs; it can provide a higher degree of precision, and it is recognized as a helpful tool aimed at estimating the permeability in sandstone formations, particularly in situations where it is crucial to obtain a precise estimation value.…”

Model validation for a noninvasive arterial stenosis detection problem by H. Thomas Banks, Shuhua Hu, Zackary R. Kenz, Carola Kruse, Simon Shaw, John Whiteman, Mark P. Brewin, Stephen E. Greenwald, Malcolm J. Birch

“…In order to develop this methodology further, we use one-dimensional shear wave experimental data from novel acoustic phantoms to validate a corresponding viscoelastic mathematical model. We estimate model parameters which give a good fit (in a sense to be precisely defined) to the experimental data, and use asymptotic error theory to provide confidence intervals for parameter estimates. …”
