Any model with f with mean 0 will not perform any better as the devia- tions toward the exact value will be just as likely as the deviations away from the exact values. This is seen in the case where f is randomly taken to be -1 or +1, which per- I I /, /'q kL, ,, t, forms slightly worse than ]"= 0 despite having the exact QQI .. or. Using f = -sign(V2¢) gives significant improvement in view of the two assumptions made i.e. f = -sign(Va4_) i aolsF I;I _l_',' '11 and sign(V2¢) -- sign(V2_). For the data shown in Fig- ures 2 and 3, this is true (86%, 86%, 86%, 85%, 88% and 93%) of the time for ul, u2, us, T, Yv, and P respectively. When cr is replaced by Y (denoted [a] in the figures), with f = -sign(V2¢), there is considerable improvement over Y f -- 0, for all quantities except T, where all the models give similar results.
