Indicators of spatial passenger delay propagation and their relation to topological indicators: A case study of the Washington DC metro network

In order for public transportation to remain an attractive travel option, its reliability must be improved. To enable this, extensive knowledge on the passenger delay phenomenon is necessary. This study explores the possibility of using empirical data of passenger delay to determine the relationships between stations through a Bayesian Network...

Toward Rank Correlation as a Measure of Confidence in Information Retrieval Experiment Results

In the field of Information Retrieval (IR), test collections are an important part of IR system evaluation. When evaluating IR systems on a test collection, the results may not accurately represent the performance of the systems on topics not contained in that test collection. Therefore, we want to get a sense of the accuracy of results on a...
