- Model Robust Calibration: Method and Application to Electronically-Scanned Pressure TransducersWalker, Eric L.; Starnes, B. Alden; Birch, Jeffrey B.; Mays, James E. (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2010)This article presents the application of a recently developed statistical regression method to the controlled instrument calibration problem. The statistical method of Model Robust Regression (MRR), developed byMays, Birch, and Starnes, is shown to improve instrument calibration by reducing the reliance of the calibration on a predetermined parametric (e.g. polynomial, exponential, logarithmic) model. This is accomplished by allowing fits from the predetermined parametric model to be augmented by a certain portion of a fit to the residuals from the initial regression using a nonparametric (locally parametric) regression technique. The method is demonstrated for the absolute scale calibration of silicon-based pressure transducers.
