Addressing the Uncertainty Due to Random Measurement Errors in Quantitative Analysis of Microorganism and Discrete Particle Enumeration Data
Schmidt, Philip J. (University of Waterloo, 2010-10-08)Parameters associated with the detection and quantification of microorganisms (or discrete particles) in water such as the analytical recovery of an enumeration method, the concentration of the microorganisms or particles ... -
Confirming the need for virus disinfection in municipal subsurface drinking water supplies
Emelko, Monica B.; Schmidt, Philip J.; Borchardt, Mark A. (Elsevier, 2019-06)Enteric viruses pose the greatest acute human health risks associated with subsurface drinking water supplies, yet quantitative risk assessment tools have rarely been used to develop health-based targets for virus treatment ... -
Recognizing Structural Nonidentifiability: When Experiments Do Not Provide Information About Important Parameters and Misleading Models Can Still Have Great Fit
Schmidt, Philip J.; Emelko, Monica B.; Thompson, Mary E. (Wiley, 2020-02)In the quest to model various phenomena, the foundational importance of parameter identifiability to sound statistical modeling may be less well appreciated than goodness of fit. Identifiability concerns the quality of ...
