Alignment Error Estimation of the Conductive Pattern of 3D-Printed Circuit Boards by O. N. Smirnova, A. A. Aleksandrov, Yu. S. Bobrova, K. M. Moiseev

“…While the causes and preventive measures against misalignment in PCBs manufactured using conventional technologies are known, research into alignment errors in 3D-printed PCBs is still ongoing. Another task regarding 3D printing, which is related to topological accuracy (alignment errors in particular), consists in ensuring the opportunity to remove the printed part of the product in order to perform operations thereon, such as embedding components, followed by its return and continuation of the printing process.Aim. …”

Error Analysis of the Convex Hull Method for the Solution of the Distribution System Security Region by Jun Xiao, Lixing Wang, Yupeng Zhou

“…Thirdly, theoretical analyses are separately conducted for concave and convex regions, which result in two theorems and one corollary, leading to the following conclusions: (1) The convex hull method is not suitable for solving concave regions, while concave regions are widely present in real-world distribution networks. (2) Error may also be produced by the convex hull method when solving convex regions. …”

Using the Bayesian Model Averaging Approach for Genomic Selection by Considering Skewed Error Distributions by Azadeh Ghazanfari, Afshin Fayyaz Movaghar

“…Results: Numerical studies on simulated and real data showed that, although Occam’s window ran faster than the MC3 method, the latter method suggested better linear models for the data with both skew-normal and skew-t error distributions. Conclusion: The MC3 method performs better than Occam’s window in identifying the linear models with greater accuracy when dealing with skewed error distributions.…”
