Abstract

The design phase is partially problem dependent. For example, we require answers to questions regarding the choice of equipment and the physical layout of the experimental setup. However, there are also questions of a more generic nature: for example, how many data points are needed and what are the accuracy requirements of the data (i.e., how accurately must we measure or compute or otherwise obtain the data)?

Keywords

Systematic Error Unknown Parameter Candidate Predictor Physical Layout Background Count Rate 
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
