Target Level Setting Method for Reference Signal of Operational TPA

A Method for Target Setting with Share Data

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a mathematical programming technique for evaluatingthe relative efficiency of a set of Decision Making Units (DMUs) and can also be utilized forsetting target. Target setting is one of the important subjects since according to its resultsefficiency can be increased. An important issue to be currently discussed, is to set targetwhile considering share data. The...

Candidate reference method for determining serum theophylline applied to target-setting in external quality assessment and routine method evaluation.

We present a candidate reference method for the determination of serum theophylline by isotope dilution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, using extractive alkylation in sample preparation. The maximum method bias was < 1.0%. The mean method imprecision (CV) was 0.63% (range 0.37-0.96%), calculated from the results of six measurements independently performed on 3 days. The maximum total erro...

The Signal Estimator Limit Setting Method

A new method of background subtraction is presented which uses the concept of a signal estimator to construct a confidence level which is always conservative and which is never better than e. The new method yields stronger exclusions than the Bayesian method with a flat prior distribution. (Submitted to Nuclear Instruments and Methods A.)

Operational semantics for signal handling

Signals are a lightweight form of interprocess communication in Unix. When a process receives a signal, the control flow is interrupted and a previously installed signal handler is run. Signal handling is reminiscent both of exception handling and concurrent interleaving of processes. In this paper, we investigate different approaches to formalizing signal handling in operational semantics, and...
