Classical formulations of data assimilation, whether sequential, ensemble-based or variational, are amplitude adjustment methods. Such approaches can perform poorly when forecast locations of weather systems are displaced from their observations. Compensating position errors by adjusting amplitudes can produce unacceptably 'distorted' states, adversely ...

Uncertainties in tumor position during intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plan optimization are usually accounted for by adding margins to a clinical target volume (CTV), or additionally, to organs at risk (OAR). The former approach usually favors target coverage over OAR protection, whereas the latter does not account for ...
