Learning Curve Primer The concept of a Learning Curve is motivated by the observation (in many diverse production environments) that‚ each time the cumulative production doubles‚ the hours required to produce the most recent unit decreases by approximately the same percentage. For example‚ for an 80% learning curve: If cumulative production doubles from 50 to 100‚ then the hours required to produce the 100th unit is 80% of that for the 50th unit. The learning curve formula can be expressed

I feel that the Daubert standard requires expert testimony to be more specific about the language that is used and the explanation provided by the expert. The Daubert standard analyzes the science and application of the expert’s testimony. Since the Daubert standard is highly based on the expert testimony being reliable‚ vigorous cross-examination

S-curve describes how the performance or cost characteristics of a technology change with time and continued investments. While the horizontal axis shows the history (time and investment) of technical innovations‚ the vertical axis shows some problems of product performance or cost competitiveness. The pace of improvement slows when the established technology is improved and approaching its maturity. Many problems which a new technology has to face with are solved over time and with investment
