When the number of independent variables for a regression analysis is not too large, calculation all possible regressions an alternative to various stepwise procedures available. However, amount information available from quite large even moderate variables. And screening out most can be done simply on basis contained in residual sum squares. This paper presents efficient procedure squares each and some suggestions procedures.

This paper discusses the design and implementation of laboratories course projects using LabVIEW in an instrumentation course. The pedagogical challenge is to enhance students' learning digital communication LabVIEW. was extensively used laboratory sessions, which better prepared students for projects. Two were designed familiarize with virtual instrumentation, data acquisition, Modbus communication, simple closed-loop control. One project involved control a brushed dc permanent magnet...

Abstract Hyporheic restoration is of increasing interest given the role hyporheic zones in supporting ecosystem services and functions. Given prevalence sediment pollution to waterways, an emerging technique involves removal from interstices gravel‐bed streams. Here, we document streambed following a large, accidental release fine into river. We use this as natural experiment assess impact on reach‐scale measures transient storage responses reaches with contrasting morphology (restored vs....

Apex predator populations are in decline around the world. Many exist at low density and elusive, making acquisition of reliable data on their numbers distribution a considerable challenge. The Amur tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) is largest five extant sub-species tiger. single most significant, contiguous population, an estimated 550 animals, exists Russian Far East, with smaller far eastern Sino-Russian border. For last few decades, active efforts part Chinese authorities have encouraged...

The importance of innovation and entrepreneurship has grown significantly over the past decade. Institutions higher education have recognized increasing level being placed globally on producing college graduates with skills to innovate new products services, many are rising occasion. Recently, Texas A&M University established a small business accelerator available all students. In addition, supported development course where junior senior students across can interact learn about ideation,...

Abstract Enabling distance learning is becoming increasingly important to the mission of today’s institutions higher education. Much work being performed offer online courses that make education accessible those who do not fit model traditional full- time student.1,2 Tools such as WebCT task offering a typical lecture course via Internet straightforward.3 Unfortunately, while this works well for courses, educational programs rely on hands-on approach must develop meaningful laboratory...

National Instruments (NI) has added the ability to graphically design digital circuitry in its LabVIEW development environment that can directly interface and program Xilinx FPGA devices.The Electronics Telecommunications Engineering Technology (EET/TET) Programs at Texas A&M University selected Spartan-3E Starter Board available from Digilent as platform for use sophomore-level microcontroller architecture courses.In addition, EET/TET faculty decided NI graphical both of these courses.The...

Regression methods are used to model residual fault density in terms of several product and testing process measures. Process measures considered include discovered density, test set size various coverage such as block, decision all-uses coverage. Product lines code well counts. The relative importance these product/process for predicting is assessed a specific data set. Only selected measures, particular coverage, important predictors this case while all important. These results based on...

Regression methods are used to model software fault detection effectiveness in terms of several product and testing process measures. The relative importance these product/process measures for predicting is assessed a specific data set. A substantial family models considered, specifically, the quadratic response surface with two way interaction. Model selection based on "leave one out at time" cross validation using predicted residual sum squares (PRESS) criterion. Prediction intervals...

Covering arrays are being increasingly used as a tool to determine test cases for testing complex engineered systems. The primary appeal of using covering this purpose is that they an efficient way construct effective at precipitating failures due the combination several inputs. However, when occur, determining inputs triggered usually time consuming task. In article we present method allows engineer efficiently analyze outcomes set by making use prior knowledge about system under test. This...

Abstract In developing screening experiments for two‐level factors, practitioners typically are familiar with regular fractional factorial designs, which orthogonal, globally D‐optimal (ie, 100% D‐efficient), and exist if is a power of two. addition, nonregular orthogonal designs can be generated almost any multiple four, the most notable being family Plackett Burman 1 designs. If resource constraints dictate that not while an design factors does exist, one still consider design. Exchange...

Validating statistical software involves a variety of challenges. Of these, the most difficult is selection an effective set test cases, sometimes referred to as "test case problem". To further complicate matters, for many applications, development and validation are done by individuals who often have limited time validate their application may not formal training in techniques. As result, it imperative that adopted method efficient, well effective, should also be one can easily understood...

The DSTR (pronounced "Disaster") robot has a strong history of being adaptable to different user's needs, and there are many opportunities ahead that indicate the sky, quite literally, is not limit for this robust platform.This paper provides historical perspective on development as collaborative design developed by Mobile Integrated Solutions Laboratory (MISL) at Texas A&M University ASEP 4X4 Inc.Texas Instruments been major partner in integration control electronics, Space Technology...

Software testing is essential for the reliable development of complex software systems. A key step in fault localization, which uses test data to pinpoint failure-inducing combinations further diagnosis. Existing localization methods, however, are largely deterministic, and thus do not provide a principled approach assessing probabilistic risk potential root causes, or integrating domain and/or structural knowledge from engineers. To address this, we propose novel Bayesian framework called...
