Sensitivity Analysis A technique used to determine how different values of an independent variable will impact a particular dependent variable under a given set of assumptions. This technique is used within specific boundaries that will depend on one or more input variables, such as the effect that changes in interest rates will have on a bond's price. Sensitivity analysis is a way to predict the outcome of a decision if a situation turns out to be different compared to the key prediction(s).
The ID3 Algorithm Abstract This paper details the ID3 classification algorithm. Very simply, ID3 builds a decision tree from a fixed set of examples. The resulting tree is used to classify future samples. The example has several attributes and belongs to a class (like yes or no). The leaf nodes of the decision tree contain the class name whereas a non-leaf node is a decision node. The decision node is an attribute test with each branch (to another decision tree) being a possible value of
The desire theory of wellbeing, or preference-satisfaction, traditionally argues that desire-satisfaction adequately measures overall subjective wellbeing. Yet in his article ‘Liberalism, Distributive Subjectivism, and Equal Opportunity for Welfare’ (1990), Richard Arneson alludes to challenges with preference-satisfaction in the analytic discourse, and establishes his own conception of subjective wellbeing. My aim in this essay is to evaluate Arneson's account of hypothetical ideally considered
There are several reasons why monopolies may be against the public interest. It is claimed that monopolies produce at a lower level output and charge a higher price than under perfect competition in both the short run and the long run. Consider the diagram above. Assume that this monopolist attempts to maximise profits. Equating MC=MR yields an output of Qm and a price of Pm. If the same industry existed under perfect competition however, the price would be Ppc and output would be Qpc since under perfect
number of factors, the main ones being: · the size of the settlement in terms of its population · the range and number of services a settlement has · the sphere of influence or the size of the area served by the settlement. The best way to show the urban hierarchy is by using a pyramid, as shown in this diagram. [IMAGE] The most obvious way of deciding where a settlement ranks on the urban hierarchy is by using the population of that settlement. The larger the population, the
Costs, Profits and Break-even Analysis Alas, this means coming to terms with numbers, something that seems to frighten a large proportion of Business Studies students. Before reaching the stage of actually drawing a break-even diagram we need to think what actually goes into one. First, we need to look at costs. They can be referred to in terms of output, time or product. When we speak of costs in terms of output and time we mean FIXED and VARIABLE costs. Remember fixed costs do not vary
census. Each punch card contained the data of each individual. Operators fed the countless cards into the computer. When the spring-mounted nails of the computer passed through the holes of the punch-card, an electric circuit was completed. As seen in diagram C, the results of each card were displayed on rows of dials. Hollerith’s company, the Tabulating Machine Company, was eventually sold and was renamed the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) in 1911, which still exists today. The first
rollers (Reference name 1D) - 2 side / over and under pulley with 1 roller (Reference name 1E) The reason I have classed this as both types of formation is because it has the same characteristics for both. Diagram 1 (1A) Diagram 2 (1B) Diagram 3 (1C) Diagram 4 (1D)
solution inside its container the best. I have chosen the glass beaker and the polystyrene cup because I have found that these two containers are resistant to any sort of corrosion that might occur whilst I will be using the acid and the alkalis. Diagram [IMAGE] Method ====== 1. I will first measure out 20ml of 2M Hydrochloric acid and pour it into the glass beaker. 2. Then I will measure the starting temperature. 3. Then I will out 20ml of 2M Sodium hydroxide add it into the
In another words, it's a careful investigation or inquiry especially through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge. The Research Process Research is regarded as a cyclical process that generally involves the stages shown in the diagram on the following page. [IMAGE] Stage 1: Define the research problem Select a topic for the research. For example, increase in number of crimes in a particular society. Stage 2: Reviewing the literature After defining the research

Preliminary Experiment The diagram below shows a brief set-up of the simple pendulum experiment The pendulum (3) will be held by a clamp stand (1) which will be placed on a work bench table (2) Fig. 1: Simple Pendulum Experiment Set-up [IMAGE] Figure

water tray half full with water. Then I will collect 3g medium chips. I will measure 30cm3 of hydrochloric acid. I will connect the delivery tube to the measuring cylinder which is turned over which will be full with water. This is shown on my diagram. I will begin timing using a stopwatch and record the results every 10 seconds for 1 minute. I will use 0.5molar/dm3 to 3.0molar/dm3 of hydrochloric acid and record 3 sets of results and then I will take an average. Fair Test In order to
1.1 General Construction labour productivity has become big problem in construction industry. In many countries, labour cost comprises 30 to 50% of the overall project’s cost (Yates and Guhathakurta, 1993), and thus is regarded as a true reflection of the economic success. Because construction is labour-intensive industry, significance of this effect not only justifies the concern over its labour productivity, but it can also be argued that labour power is the only productive resource. There are
if I shouted "Three!" they would have to jump. The warm up will last about five minutes, so as not to tire them out. Skills and Practice For a practice/skills based activity, an obstacle course would be set up for them to complete (see diagram) while dribbling a football. They will each get a turn at this, and hopefully, it will prove to be fun as well as good practice. This activity will last about 5 - 10 minutes. [IMAGE] Text Box: The aim of this activity is to practice ball
the higher the temperature rise. I therefore predict the higher the concentration the higher the temperature change. Background knowledge I know that when I add the iron filings to the solution the iron will displace the Copper here is a diagram to show the reaction. [IMAGE] Controlled variables Ø The same mass of Iron filings Ø The same volume of copper sulphate solution Variables Ø Concentration of the Copper Sulphate (CuSO4) Safety Ø Wash hands if you get all copper
harmonic motion of a pendulum can be studied by attaching a ticker-tape to a pendulum bob and analyzing the dots marked on the tape. Theory ------ In this experiment, a string was used to suspend a 0.5 kg mass. [IMAGE] Refer to the diagram above, [IMAGE] Considering the tangential force on the mass, [IMAGE] [IMAGE] ∴The oscillation is simple harmonic. Therefore, we can find out more on simple harmonic motion by analyzing the ticker-tape we obtained after the experiment
and fuel in it. Diagram; Plan; First of all, I will set the clamp stand 3.5cm vertically higher then the crucible which then I put some mineral wool in and 30 drops of the fuel in. After that I am going to weigh the crucible making sure there is no other liquid or any other substances on the weigher, so I don't do not get any anomalous results. After I have recorded the weight I am going to place the crucible directly under the boiling tube, like shown in the diagram, and then I am going
