Distinguishing between the interior pressures induced by independent sources within a room using the probabilistic approach and model class selection index: An experiment

This study presents the first full-scale experiment to verify the effectiveness of the probabilistic approach to distinguish between the interior pressures that are induced from independent sources within a room. This study furthers the theoretical work of a companion paper in which no experimental verification was conducted and the number of interior sources was assumed to be known in the parameter identification process. The two main contributions of this paper are (1) the development of a model class selection index that can indicate the number of interior sources and (2) the experimental verification of the probabilistic approach. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
