Abstract: This paper investigates the relationship between the quality and value of forecast in the context of a generalized N-action, N-event model of the cost-loss ratio situation. The forecasts of interest are imperfect categorical ...

Abstract: A diagnostic approach to forecast verification is described and illustrated. This approach is based on a general framework for forecast verification. It is ?diagnostic? in the sense that it focuses on the fundamental ...

Abstract: In this paper we investigate the interrelationships between objective and subjective temperature forecasts. An information-content approach is adopted within the overall context of a general framework for forecast verification. ...

Abstract: Active base isolation has been studied in the last few decades to improve the control performance of base isolation. As a twodegreeoffreedom active disturbancerejection method, the equivalentinputdisturbance (EID) approach ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new design method based on a robust-control strategy in the form of a linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach for a passive tuned mass damper (TMD), which is one of the common passive-control devices ...

Abstract: AbstractThis paper presents a comprehensive study of wire arc additively manufactured (WAAM) stainless steel circular hollow section (CHS) stub columns under axial compression, including experimental testing, numerical ...
