Parametrical Identity Mapping: An Evaluation Procedure for THW Signals and Other Time-Series Methods
摘要
The mathematical tool “Parametrical Identity Mapping (PIM)” is presented in detail. Its tasks are to effectively assists (1) in choosing the best form of a measurement model, e.g., for the transient hot-wire method and (2) in completely adjusting the selected model by two global correction factors. These factors control the amplitude and time-response of the adjusted model in a way that this form of the model optimally predicts the experimental data points. The goodness of the adjusted model can easily be determined by a simple statistic, the level of similarity,
