Software reliability testing provided the necessary guarantee for improving software reliability level and estimation. The traditional method for generating software reliability test cases could be seen as a simple random sampling, which was randomly choosen according to the operational profile defined by Musa. The stratified sampling was well known as a complex but more accurate sampling appro...

The paper presents a model that extends the stochastic finite element method to the modelling of transitional energetic–statistical size effect in unnotched quasibrittle structures of positive geometry (i.e. failing at the start of macro-crack growth), and to the low probability tail of structural strength distribution, important for safe design. For small structures, the model captures the ene...

Sensitivity analysis is a key part of a comprehensive energy simulation study. Monte-Carlo techniques have been successfully applied to many simulation tools. Several sampling techniques have been proposed in the literature; however to date there has been no comparison of their performance for typical building simulation applications. This paper examines the performance of simple random, strati...

Data collection mechanism is a crucial factor for the performance of intrusion detection system (IDS). Simple random sampling and Stratified random sampling techniques of statistics are introduced to the procedure of data collection for IDS, and formulas used to calculate the sample size of packets based on these sampling techniques are presented. The implementation of packets sampling is provi...

Abstract Simple random-sampling resolutions of the raven paradox relevantly diverge from scientific practice. We develop a stratified model, yielding better fit and apparently rehabilitating simple random sampling as legitimate idealization. However, neither accommodates second concern, objection potential bias. third model that crucially invokes causal considerations, novel resolution handles ...

aggression is universal behavior that can be seen in all cultures and the most common behavioral problems in adolescence and young adulthood which can cause discomfort and distress of adolescents and young people and those around them. this research aim to survey of some social and individual factors influencing the tendency to aggression among youth in deylam city. the methodology of this stud...

In the United States, low marriage rates and high divorce rates among the poor have led policymakers to target this group for skillsand values-based interventions. The current research evaluated the assumptions underlying these interventions; specifically, the authors examined whether low-income respondents held less traditional values toward marriage, had unrealistic standards for marriage, an...
