7.4.1.1 Distribution of Measured Thresholds—DFM
e DFM has been analyzed by several authors using Monte Carlo methods (Arenberg
1994, 2012, Melninkaitis et al. 2009). It has been shown that the measured threshold, T
M
,
from the DFM technique has a mode near the true value, assuming that the maximum
value of F used in the tting is ~0.6 (Arenberg 1992). e distribution of T
M
is wide
and skewed with the precise details depending on the selection of the many parameters
involved. e skewness shows a general trend to underestimate the true threshold.
An example of these T
M
distributions, ...
