Dimensional analysis (DA) pays attention to fundamental physical dimensions such as length and mass when modelling scientific and engineering systems. It goes back at least a century to Buckingham's Pi theorem, which characterizes a…
This paper introduces dimensional analysis in Non-Destructive Testing & Evaluation (NDT&E) problems. This is the first time that this approach is adopted in the framework of NDT&E, and the paper opens to the development of probes and…
Dimensional analysis, and in particular the Buckingham $\Pi$ theorem is widely used in fluid mechanics. In this article we obtain an expression for the impact parameter from Buckingham's theorem and we compare our result with Rutherford's…
In the absence of governing equations, dimensional analysis is a robust technique for extracting insights and finding symmetries in physical systems. Given measurement variables and parameters, the Buckingham Pi theorem provides a procedure…
On the verge of the centenary of dimensional analysis (DA), we present a generalisation of the theory and a methodology for the discovery of empirical laws from observational data. It is well known that DA: a) reduces the number of free…
The Buckingham's $\pi$, theorem has been recently introduced in the context of Non destructive Testing \& Evaluation (NdT\&E) , giving a theoretical basis for developing simple but effective methods for multi-parameter estimation via…
Traditional methods for covariate adjustment of treatment means in designed experiments are inherently conditional on the observed covariate values. In order to develop a coherent general methodology for analysis of covariance, we propose a…
Many advanced driver assistance schemes or autonomous vehicle controllers are based on a motion model of the vehicle behavior, i.e., a function predicting how the vehicle will react to a given control input. Data-driven models, based on…
We present an innovative approach to dimensional analysis, referred to as augmented dimensional analysis and based on a representation theorem for complete quantity functions with a scaling-covariant scalar representation. This new theorem,…
The languages of mathematical physics and modelling are endowed with a rich ``grammar of dimensions'' that common abstractions of programming languages fail to represent. We propose a dependently typed domain-specific language (embedded in…
Strict user demands and large variability in external disturbances, along with limited richness in the data collected on the daily operating conditions of district heating networks makes the design and testing of novel energy-reducing…
Lurking variables represent hidden information, and preclude a full understanding of phenomena of interest. Detection is usually based on serendipity -- visual detection of unexplained, systematic variation. However, these approaches are…
Up to now, it is not possible to obtain analytical solutions for complex molecular association processes (e.g. Molecule recognition in Signaling or catalysis). Instead Brownian Dynamics (BD) simulations are commonly used to estimate the…
Systems with both quantitative and qualitative responses are widely encountered in many applications. Design of experiment methods are needed when experiments are conducted to study such systems. Classic experimental design methods are…
We give an overview over the usefulness of the concept of equivariance and invariance in the design of experiments for generalized linear models. In contrast to linear models here pairs of transformations have to be considered which act…
Model-based design of experiments (MBDOE) is essential for efficient parameter estimation in nonlinear dynamical systems. However, conventional adaptive MBDOE requires costly posterior inference and design optimization between each…
How should researchers analyze randomized experiments in which the main outcome is latent and measured in multiple ways but each measure contains some degree of error? We first identify a critical study-specific noncomparability problem in…
The design of an experiment can be always be considered at least implicitly Bayesian, with prior knowledge used informally to aid decisions such as the variables to be studied and the choice of a plausible relationship between the…
Adaptive experimental design methods are increasingly being used in industry as a tool to boost testing throughput or reduce experimentation cost relative to traditional A/B/N testing methods. This paper shares lessons learned regarding the…
Difference-in-differences (DiD) is arguably the most popular quasi-experimental research design. Its canonical form, with two groups and two periods, is well-understood. However, empirical practices can be ad hoc when researchers go beyond…
