Uncertainty in Measurement: Accuracy and Precision

94.0K
Scientists typically make repeated measurements of a quantity to ensure the quality of their findings and to evaluate both the precision and the accuracy of their results. Measurements are said to be precise if they yield very similar results when repeated in the same manner. A measurement is considered accurate if it yields a result that is very close to the true or the accepted value. Precise values agree with each other; accurate values agree with a true value.

Polarimetry finds application in chemical kinetics to measure the concentration and reaction kinetics of optically active substances during a chemical reaction. Optically active substances have the capability of rotating the plane of polarization of linearly polarized light passing through them—a feature called optical rotation. Optical activity is attributed to the molecular structure of substances. Normal monochromatic light is unpolarized and possesses oscillations of the electrical...

Random and Systematic Errors

11.2K
Scientists always try their best to record measurements with the utmost accuracy and precision. However, sometimes errors do occur. These errors can be random or systematic. Random errors are observed due to the inconsistency or fluctuation in the measurement process, or variations in the quantity itself that is being measured. Such errors fluctuate from being greater than or less than the true value in repeated measurements. Consider a scientist measuring the length of an earthworm using a...

In control systems, test signals are essential for evaluating performance under various conditions. The ramp function is effective for systems undergoing gradual changes, while the step function is suitable for assessing systems facing sudden disturbances. For systems subjected to shock inputs, the impulse function is the most appropriate test signal.
These test signals are integral in designing control systems to exhibit two key performance aspects: transient response and steady-state...

Gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, is commonly administered via intermittent intravenous infusion to treat severe infections. An intermittent one-hour infusion of gentamicin, administered at eight-hour intervals, allows for precise control of plasma drug concentrations, minimizing toxicity while ensuring therapeutic efficacy. Pharmacokinetic principles govern the dynamics of plasma concentrations and can be mathematically described using specific equations.The plasma drug concentration...

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Wearable Technology
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • Gait assessment is crucial for evaluating mobility and stability.
  • Current methods often require controlled laboratory settings.
  • Wearable sensors offer potential for unobtrusive, real-world gait analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a wearable gait assessment method using inertial measurement units (IMUs).
  • To estimate the Margin of Stability (MoS) from IMU acceleration data using a convolutional neural network (CNN).
  • To investigate the relationship between MoS and other gait stability indices under various conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized five IMUs placed on different body parts to collect acceleration time-series data.
  • Developed a CNN model to estimate MoS from IMU data.
  • Simulated diverse gait conditions by varying treadmill speed and inducing asymmetry with a knee-ankle-foot orthosis.
  • Examined correlations between MoS, Lyapunov exponent, and multi-site time-series (MSTS) index.

Main Results:

  • The CNN model achieved over 90% accuracy in classifying MoS in both forward and lateral directions.
  • A weak correlation was observed between MoS and the Lyapunov exponent or MSTS index.
  • The findings suggest these indices may reflect distinct aspects of gait stability.

Conclusions:

  • A wearable IMU-based method using CNNs can accurately estimate MoS for gait assessment.
  • This approach shows potential for evaluating gait stability in daily environments.
  • Further research is needed to understand the complementary information provided by different stability indices.
