query: what does it mean to jackknife a trailer

pos: Jackknifing Jackknifing Jackknifing refers to the folding of an articulated vehicle so that it resembles the acute angle of a folding pocket knife. If a vehicle towing a trailer skids, the trailer can push the towing vehicle from behind until it spins the vehicle around and faces backwards. This may be caused by equipment failure, improper braking, or adverse road conditions such as an icy road surface. In extreme circumstances, a driver may attempt to jackknife the vehicle deliberately in order to halt it following brake failure. A jackknife event of a heavy vehicle can be fatal to the driver as

neg: Jackknife resampling proposed the name "jackknife" since, like a physical jack-knife (a compact folding knife), it is a rough-and-ready tool that can improvise a solution for a variety of problems even though specific problems may be more efficiently solved with a purpose-designed tool. The jackknife is a linear approximation of the bootstrap. The jackknife estimate of a parameter can be found by estimating the parameter for each subsample omitting the "i"-th observation. For example, if the parameter to be estimated is the population mean of "x", we compute the mean formula_3 for each subsample consisting of all but the "i"-th data point:

neg: Automated guided vehicle same speed to allow the AGV to go forwards or backwards. The AGV turns in a similar fashion to a tank. This method of steering is the simplest as it does not require additional steering motors and mechanism. More often than not, this is seen on an AGV that is used to transport and turn in tight spaces or when the AGV is working near machines. This setup for the wheels is not used in towing applications because the AGV would cause the trailer to jackknife when it turned. The second type of steering used is steered wheel control AGV.

neg: Semi-trailer truck rear end: it requires a forward axle, provided by the towing engine, to carry half the load weight. When braking hard at high speeds, the vehicle has a tendency to fold at the pivot point between the towing vehicle and the trailer. Such a truck accident is called a "trailer swing", although it is also commonly described as a "jackknife". Jackknifing is a condition where the tractive unit swings round against the trailer, and not vice versa. Semi trucks use air pressure, rather than hydraulic fluid, to actuate the brake. The use of air hoses allows for ease of coupling

neg: Jackknife resampling These "n" estimates form an estimate of the distribution of the sample statistic if it were computed over a large number of samples. In particular, the mean of this sampling distribution is the average of these "n" estimates: A jackknife estimate of the variance of the estimator can be calculated from the variance of this distribution of formula_6 The jackknife technique can be used to estimate the bias of an estimator calculated over the entire sample. Say formula_8 is the calculated estimator of the parameter of interest based on all formula_9 observations. Let where formula_11 is the estimate of interest

neg: Ratio estimator An estimate accurate to O( "n" ) is If the probability distribution is Poissonian, an estimator accurate to O( "n" ) is A jackknife estimator of the variance is where "r" is the ratio with the "i" pair of variates omitted and "r" is the jackknife estimate of the ratio. The variance of the estimated total is The variance of the estimated mean of the "y" variate is where "m" is the mean of the "x" variate, "s" and "s" are the sample variances of the "x" and "y" variates respectively and "ρ" is the sample correlation between the "x"

The novel is representative of Dukaj's prose, posing philosophical questions about the future of man and technology. The other major element of the novel is Dukaj's attempts to introduce the reader to the new style of electronic literature. The novel was nominated

Quirk from the "Dictionary of Library Biography," Alexie asks three questions across all of his works: "What does it mean to live as an Indian in this time? What does it mean to be an Indian man? Finally, what does it mean to live on an Indian reservation?" The protagonists in most of his literary works exhibit a constant struggle with themselves and their own sense of powerlessness in white American society. Alexie’s writings are meant to evoke sadness, but at the same time, he uses humor and pop culture that leave the readers with

neg: Harmonic mean mean of the reciprocals "s" is the variance of the reciprocals of the data and "n" is the number of data points in the sample. A jackknife method of estimating the variance is possible if the mean is known. This method is the usual 'delete 1' rather than the 'delete m' version. This method first requires the computation of the mean of the sample ("m") where "x" are the sample values. A series of value "w" is then computed where The mean ("h") of the "w" is then taken: The variance of the mean is Significance testing and confidence intervals

Bremer support (also known as branch support) is simply the difference in number of steps between the score of the MPT(s), and the score of the most parsimonious tree that does "not" contain a particular clade (node, branch). It can be thought of as the number of steps you have to add to lose that clade; implicitly, it is meant to suggest how great the error in the estimate of the score of the MPT must be for the clade to no longer be supported by the analysis, although this is not necessarily what

How does it convey meaning? And Why does it mean what it means?" Danesi is a public intellectual and has been featured or contributed to a range of mainstream publications such

neg: Articulated car if the train derails, it is less likely to jackknife and modern construction techniques prevent telescoping. Articulated cars are not, however, a new idea. Many railways in Britain during the first half of the 20th century frequently rebuilt older, shorter cars into articulated sets, and the Great Northern Railway in Britain built suburban car sets new. In the 1930s, a number of streamlined trains built for the London and North Eastern Railway also made use of articulated technology. Manufacturers such as Gunderson make articulated, low-floor "well" cars, articulated trailer carriers and articulated autoracks. Articulated cars have a number of advantages.

Artists’ intents can play a significant role for interpreters who want to formulate meanings about artists’ works. It would be intellectually foolish to ignore artists’ words about their works when trying to interpret those works. Barrets book does not assert, however, that the work necessarily means what the artist wants it to mean. To believe that a work of art means what its maker meant it to mean is to adhere to what is

The jackknife predates other common resampling methods such as the bootstrap. The jackknife estimator of a parameter is found by systematically leaving out each observation from a dataset and calculating the estimate and then finding the average of these calculations. Given a sample of size formula_1, the jackknife estimate is found by aggregating the estimates of each formula_2-sized sub-sample. The jackknife technique was developed by Maurice Quenouille (1924-1973) from 1949, and refined in 1956. John Tukey expanded on the technique in 1958 and

Both yield similar numerical results, which is why each can be seen as approximation to the other. Although there are huge theoretical differences in their mathematical insights, the main practical difference for statistics users is that the bootstrap gives different results when repeated on the same data, whereas the jackknife gives exactly the same result each time. Because of this, the jackknife is popular when the estimates need to be verified several times before publishing (e.g., official

Giles (2004) argued that the standard error of the estimate of "A" can be used to derive that of the estimate of "G" directly without using a jackknife at all. This method only requires the use of ordinary least squares regression after ordering the sample data. The results compare favorably with the estimates from the jackknife with agreement improving with increasing sample size. However it has since been argued that this

The jackknife is consistent for the sample means, sample variances, central and non-central t-statistics (with possibly non-normal populations), sample coefficient of variation, maximum likelihood estimators, least squares estimators, correlation coefficients and regression coefficients. It is not consistent for the sample

What are we persuaded it means or signifies? These questions are prior to: What does the situation make us talk about? or, What does it intrinsically mean? This introduces the significance of subjectivity in framing socio-political realities.

The laws of general relativity are unchanged in form under such a transformation. Yet this does not mean that objects can be stretched or bent without being opposed by a physical force. Likewise, event symmetry does not mean that objects can be torn apart in

It does mean, however, that goodness cannot be reduced to natural properties such as needs, wants or pleasures.

This would be an example of what he referred to as "the naturalistic fallacy." Moore claimed that goodness is "indefinable", i.e., it cannot be defined in any other terms. This is the central claim of non-naturalism. Thus, the meaning of sentences containing the

In the case of a unimodal variate the ratio of the jackknife variance to the sample variance tends to be distributed as one half the square of a chi square distribution with two degrees of freedom. The jackknife, like the original bootstrap, is dependent on the independence of the data. Extensions of the jackknife to allow for dependence in the data have been proposed. Another extension is the delete-a-group method used in association with Poisson sampling. Both methods, the bootstrap and the jackknife, estimate the variability of a statistic from the variability of that statistic between subsamples, rather than

It should only be used with smooth, differentiable statistics (e.g., totals, means, proportions, ratios, odd ratios, regression coefficients, etc.; not with medians or quantiles).

More general jackknifes than the delete-1, such as the delete-m jackknife or the delete-all-but-2 Hodges–Lehmann estimator, overcome this problem for the medians and quantiles by relaxing the smoothness requirements for consistent variance estimation. Usually the jackknife is easier to apply to complex sampling schemes than the bootstrap. Complex sampling schemes may involve stratification, multiple stages
