In general, there is a mismatch between a finite element model {(FEM)} of a structure and its real behaviour. In aeronautics, this mismatch must be small because {FEM}s are a fundamental part of the development of an aircraft and of…
Identifying leading measurement units from a large collection is a common inference task in various domains of large-scale inference. Testing approaches, which measure evidence against a null hypothesis rather than effect magnitude, tend to…
