The URM Model [14] characterizes use errors in terms of the user's failure to manage a system deficiency. Six categories of use errors are described in a URM document: Expected faults with risky results; Expected faults with unexpected results; Expected user errors in identifying risky situations (this study); User Errors in handling expected ...
These phrases are used as a humorous [7] way to describe user errors. A highly popularized example of this is a user mistaking their CD-ROM tray for a cup holder, or a user looking for the "any key". However, any variety of stupidity or ignorance-induced problems can be described as user errors.
The technique provides the user with useful suggestions as to how to reduce the occurrence of errors [4] It provides ready linkage between Ergonomics and Process Design, with reliability improvement measures being a direct conclusion which can be drawn from the assessment procedure. It allows cost benefit analyses to be conducted

THERP is a first-generation methodology, which means that its procedures follow the way conventional reliability analysis models a machine. [3] The technique was developed in the Sandia Laboratories for the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission. [4]
Contextual inquiry (CI) is a user-centered design (UCD) research method, part of the contextual design methodology.A contextual inquiry interview is usually structured as an approximately two-hour, one-on-one interaction in which the researcher watches the user in the course of the user's normal activities and discusses those activities with the user.
While the general arguments in the paper recommending reforms in scientific research methodology were well-received, Ionnidis received criticism for the validity of his model and his claim that the majority of scientific findings are false. Responses to the paper suggest lower false positive and false negative rates than what Ionnidis puts forth.
In statistical hypothesis testing, there are various notions of so-called type III errors (or errors of the third kind), and sometimes type IV errors or higher, by analogy with the type I and type II errors of Jerzy Neyman and Egon Pearson. Fundamentally, type III errors occur when researchers provide the right answer to the wrong question, i.e ...
