متن کاملForecast Errors in Service Systems
We investigate the presence and impact of forecast errors in the arrival rate of customers to a service system. Analysis of a large dataset shows that forecast errors can be large relative to the fluctuations naturally expected in a Poisson process. We show that ignoring forecast errors typically leads to overestimates of performance and that forecast errors of the magnitude seen in our dataset...
متن کاملAsymmetric Systematic Errors
Asymmetric systematic errors arise when there is a non-linear dependence of a result on a nuisance parameter. Their combination is traditionally done by adding positive and negative deviations separately in quadrature. There is no sound justification for this, and it is shown that indeed it is sometimes clearly inappropriate. Consistent techniques are given for this combination of errors, and a...
متن کاملErrors in quantum tomography: diagnosing systematic versus statistical errors
A prime goal of quantum tomography is to provide quantitatively rigorous characterization of quantum systems, be they states, processes or measurements, particularly for the purposes of trouble-shooting and benchmarking experiments in quantum information science. A range of techniques exist to enable the calculation of errors, such as Monte-Carlo simulations, but their quantitative value is arg...
متن کاملSystematic Errors: Facts and Fictions
The treatment of systematic errors is often mishandled. This is due to lack of understanding and education, based on a fundamental ambiguity as to what is meant by the term. This note addresses the problems and offers guidance to good practice. 1 RIVAL DEFINITIONS: UNCERTAINTY AND MISTAKE 1.1 Random Uncertainties and Mistakes The word error is used in several ways.
