The aim of effective project management is to bring the project to completion on time and on schedule. Estimating project duration is a key function of scheduling. Individual activities make up the ...

There are numerous coal energy conversion project feasibility studies performed under contract with the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) which include capital ...

Two key features of a project are on-time and on-budget delivery. The project manager can only fulfill these objectives if the estimates leading to the project schedule and budget are accurate.

Kernel density estimation (KDE) and nonparametric methods form a cornerstone of contemporary statistical analysis. Unlike parametric approaches that assume a specific functional form for the ...

Within cities there can be stark differences in health across neighborhoods. Often, surveys of city residents are conducted to provide information related to health and then reported to the public at ...

Each estimation method is based on finding parameter estimates that minimize a badness-of-fit function that measures the difference between the observed sample covariance matrix and the predicted ...

Traditional estimating methods often involve hours of manual work, sifting through drawings, checking specs, and juggling spreadsheets. When deadlines are tight and project demands grow, these ...

When control limits are determined from the input data, three methods (referred to as default, MVLUE, and RMSDF) are available for estimating . If the unknown standard deviation is constant across ...

A new estimating technique calculates unit-specific NO x emissions estimates for petroleum-industry combustion equipment that are more accurate than older methods. This simple method accounts for a ...
