Investigation with Bluetooth Sensors of Bicycle Travel Time Estimation on a Short Corridor by Zhenyu Mei, Dianhai Wang, Jun Chen

“…Usually bicycle travel time estimates with Bluetooth sensors contain three types of errors: spatial error, temporal error, and sampling error. To avoid these, we introduced filters to “purify” the time series. …”

An Optimal Linear Transformation for Data Assimilation by Chris Snyder, Gregory J. Hakim

“…Abstract Linear transformations are widely used in data assimilation for covariance modeling, for reducing dimensionality (such as averaging dense observations to form “superobs”), and for managing sampling error in ensemble data assimilation. Here we describe a linear transformation that is optimal in the sense that, in the transformed space, the state variables and observations have uncorrelated errors, and a diagonal gain matrix in the update step. …”

Current Challenges in Development of Differentially Expressed and Prognostic Prostate Cancer Biomarkers by Steven M. Lucas, Elisabeth I. Heath

“…Challenges to the development of useful markers include different methodology, cancer heterogeneity, and sampling error. These can be overcome by categorizing prognostic factors into particular gene pathways or by supplementing biopsy information with blood or urine-based biomarkers. …”

Unintended pregnancy and gender inequality worldwide: an ecological analysis by Gilda Sedgh, Jonathan Marc Bearak

“…We regressed the CUPR on several measures of gender inequality using least squares with a percentile bootstrap to account for sampling error and the additional uncertainty in the model-based unintended pregnancy estimates. …”

Sample intensity in ombrophilous open forest at Verde Para Sempre Extractive Reserve, Porto de Moz, PA by Fábio Miranda Leão, Luiz Fernandes Silva Dionisio, Loirena do Carmo Moura Sousa, Marlon Costa de Menezes, Marcelo Henrique Silva de Oliveira, Raphael Lobato Prado Neves

“…The treatment with 5% and 10% sample intensity were not enough to contemplate all the species in the area and estimate the volume inside to the required accuracy limit, maximum of 10% sampling error. The treatments of 15% and 20% resembled the parametric value regarding floristic composition, species diversity and volumetry of the forest census of the area, showing no significant difference between them. …”
