By decomposing the output variance using error propagation equations, this method can transform the ＂double-loop＂ sampling procedure into ＂single-loop＂ one and obviously reduce the computation cost of analysis. In contrast with Sobors and Fourier amplitude sensitivity test （FAST） method, which is limited in non-correlated variables, the new approach is suitable for correlated input variables. An application in semiconductor assembling and test manufacturing （ATM） factory indicates that this approach has a good performance in additive model and simple non-additive model.展开更多

If data are acquired properly while surveying and analyzing the error with grating typeinstrument attached to a micro-computer, the analysis will be easier and quicker. In this paper,such a system is introduced; a data acquiring interface is designed. Therefore, real-time samplingcan be performed. The results obtained from the indexing tramsmission chain error of several gearhobbing and shaping machines with this system were satisfactory.展开更多

Methods: We chose ArcCHECK detector array to illustrate the concepts. We used plans with uniform or quasi-uniform dose distributions along the detector array for testing in the presence of dose errors. For testing sensitivity to spatial shift we employed a plan with approximately constant dose gradient along the axis of the instrument. Results: We identified a representative set of parameters which describe performance of a detector array. We determined the minimum gamma-index acceptance criteria allowing the passing rates to reach 100% in the absence of errors, and identified the minimum fully detectable errors for such criteria. For our baseline plans delivered to ArcCHECK, 100% passing rates were obtained for 1.5% dose criterion together with ±3% minimum error detectable at 100% rate, and for 1.5 mm criterion together with the minimum fully detectable error of ±3 mm. We inspected the impact of selected program options on the passing rates. Conclusions: The protocol we developed provides a simple method of commissioning-style analysis of a detector array without a need for analysis of a large number of clinical plans.展开更多

We will find the compact expression of the influence functions, which allow the quantification of the effect of an infinitesimal contamination of the probability of any pair of attributes of the bivariate random variable distributed according to the above-mentioned model. We prove that the only unbiased index is the chi square. In order to determine the indexes, which are less sensitive to contamination, we obtain the expressions of three synthetic measures of the influence function, which are the maximum contamination (gross sensitivity error), the mean square deviation and the variance. These results, even if don’t allow a definitive assessment of the overall optimum properties of the five indexes, as not all of them are unbiased, nevertheless they allow to appreciating the synthetic entity of the effect of the contaminations in the estimation of the parameter ρ of the bivariate Bernoulli distribution.展开更多
