Calibration training improves subjective probabilities because most people are either overconfident or under confident usually the former . ref Regina Kwon The Probability Problem Baseline Magazine, Dec 10 2001 ref By practicing with a series of trivia questions, it is possible for subjects to fine tune their ability to assess probabilities.

If they are absolutely certain they are correct, they will say 100 . But most people will answer somewhere in between. If a calibrated person is asked a large number of such questions, they will get about as many correct as they expected. On the other hand, an uncalibrated person who is systematically overconfident may say they are 90 confident in a large number of questions where they only get 60 or 70 ... modeling process.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 A calibrated orifice is a restriction that is deliberately placed into a system of pipeline transport pipe s to set the flow rate through the system. The wikt orifice orifice may be designed to produce proportional flow as in the Jet gas jet in a carburetor , or choked flow as in a filtering bypass in a closed industrial cooling system, which might be designed to pass a particular flow rate through a filter assembly to maintain cleanliness of a closed loop fluid system . Many pressure gauges also use an orifice also called a restrictor to limit the flow into a gauge. Since the pressure is even throughout the system, allowing only a small portion of the flow into the actual gauge allows it to be in parallel with the pressure circuit and still measure accurately. It also prevents or minimizes damage to the gauge during pressure surges at start up, or due to any spikes in the system pressure.

Most civilian EFIS displays also show CAS. At high speeds and altitudes, calibrated airspeed is further corrected for compressibility errors and becomes equivalent airspeed EAS . When flying at sea level under International Standard Atmosphere conditions 15 C, 1013 hPa, 0 humidity calibrated airspeed is the same as equivalent airspeed and true airspeed TAS . If there is no wind it is also the same as ground speed GS . Under any other conditions, CAS may differ from the aircraft s TAS and GS. Calibrated airspeed in knots is usually abbreviated as KCAS , while indicated airspeed is abbreviated as KIAS . Practical applications of CAS CAS has two primary applications in aviation for navigation, CAS is traditionally calculated as one of the steps between indicated airspeed and true airspeed for aircraft control, CAS and EAS are the primary reference points, since they describe the dynamic pressure acting on aircraft surfaces regardless of density altitude, wind, and other conditions. EAS is used as a reference by aircraft designers, but EAS cannot be displayed correctly at varying altitudes by a simple single capsule airspeed indicator. CAS is therefore a standard for calibrating the airspeed indicator such that CAS equals EAS at sea level pressure and approximates EAS at higher altitudes.

In particular, an a priori probability is derived purely by deductive reasoning . ref Mood A.M., Graybill F.A., Boes D.C. 1974 Introduction to the Theory of Statistics 3rd Edition . McGraw Hill. Section 2.2 http www.colorado.edu Economics morey 7818 7818readings.html available online ref One way of deriving a priori probabilities is the principle of indifference , which has the character of saying that, if there are N mutually exclusive and exhaustive events and if they are equally likely, then the probability of a given event occurring is 1 N . Similarly the probability of one of a given collection of K events is K N . One disadvantage of defining probabilities in the above way is that it applies only to finite collections of events.

Exotic probability is a branch of probability theory that deals with probabilities which are outside the normal range of 0, 1 . The most common author of papers on exotic probability theory is Saul Youssef .

The sticking probability is the probability that molecules are trapped on surfaces and adsorb chemically. From Langmuir equation Langmuir s adsorption isotherm , molecules cannot adsorb on surfaces when the adsorption adsorption sites are already occupied by other molecules, so the sticking probability can be expressed as follows s s sub 0 sub 1 c where s sub 0 sub is the initial sticking probability and c is the coverage. Similarly, when molecules adsorb on surfaces dissociatively, the sticking probability is s s sub 0 sub 1 c sup 2 sup Although these equations are simple and can be easily understood, they cannot explain experimental results.
