The comparison of reliabilities in dental imaging methods.

2003

Objectives: Common practice in the statistical comparison of imaging instruments with limited reproducibility consists in the separate estimation of the instrument's reliabilities. However, as soon as one of the imaging methods is subject to item-specific bias (which has to be expected in many dentomaxillofacial imaging procedures), this approach will end in severe errors in reliability computation and in corresponding erroneous clinical conclusions. This paper seeks to point out these effects and to illustrate a more appropriate model for the comparison of instrumental reliabilities. Methods: A standard reliability model was adjusted for item-specific bias and illustrated by the comparison…

A RELIABILITY MODEL FOR OPTIMAL ALLOCATION OF SPARE TOOLS IN FMS

1989

ABSTRACT A model for the dynamic management of the tool set of an FMS workstation is developed. The proposed approach processing the on-line recorded tool failure data updates the estimate of the parameters of the probability density functions of tool life and selects, at the occurence of each failure, the code of the tool to be allocated in the workstation storage devices in order to maximize its reliability over a planned horizon.
