Abstract:

Nanomaterials possess great mechanical properties with wide applications in many areas. Experiments are often conducted for measuring certain mechanical properties of interest. How to accurate quantify mechanical properties of nanomaterials is thus very important but challenge due to nanoscale manipulation and tactful measurement techniques. Statistical modeling approach combined physical theories have been used for the quantification of nanomaterials. In this work, we propose a novel mixed variance component model to accommodate experimental variations and artifacts for analyzing the nanomaterial experiment data. The proposed method can automatically adjust systematic errors occurred in the experiments through a group adaptive forward backward selection (GFoBa). It thus leads to accurate estimation of mechanical properties with the ability to filter out various experimental errors. The performance of the proposed method is compared with other existing method through both simulation and a real data example.
