The Blind Men and the ElephantThe Blind Men and the ElephantJohn Godfrey SaxeJohn Godfrey Saxe
It was six men of IndostanTo learning much inclined,Who went to see the Elephant(Though all of them were blind),That each by observationMight satisfy his mind.
The First approached the Elephant,And happening to fallAgainst his broad and sturdy side,At once began to bawl:“God bless me! but the ElephantIs very like a wall!” ...

Reduce Stochastic NoiseReduce Stochastic Noise
• Current measuring range• Integration time/cycles
– long/short integration on some FRAs• Delay time• Avoid line frequency and harmonics (±5 Hz)
– 60 Hz & 120 Hz– 50 Hz & 100 Hz
• Ignore first frequency measured (to avoid start-up transient)
Chapter 3. Impedance Measurement page 3: 25
Reduce NonReduce Non--Stationary EffectsStationary Effects
• Reduce time for measurement– shorter integration (fewer cycles)
• accept more stochastic noise to get less bias error– fewer frequencies
• more measured frequencies yields better parameter estimates• fewer frequencies takes less time
– avoid line frequency and harmonic (±5 Hz)• takes a long time to measure on auto-integration• cannot use data anyway
– select appropriate modulation technique• decide what you want to hold constant (e.g., current or potential)• system drift can increase measurement time on auto-integration
Chapter 3. Impedance Measurement page 3: 26
Reduce Instrument Bias ErrorsReduce Instrument Bias Errors
• Faster potentiostat• Short shielded leads• Faraday cage• Check results
– against electrical circuit– against independently obtained parameters

• Models can account rigorously for proposed kinetic and mass transfer mechanisms.
• There are significant differences between models for mass transfer.
• Stochastic errors in impedance spectroscopy are sufficiently small to justify use of accurate models for mass transfer.

• While use of a CPE may lead to improved regressions, the meaning can be ambiguous, and the physical system may not follow the specific distribution implied in the CPE model.
• Distributed time-constant systems can be modeled explicitly.

Conclusions from Test Spectra Conclusions from Test Spectra
• The presence of noise in data can have a direct impact on model identification and on the confidence interval for the regressed parameters.
• The correctness of the model does not determine the number of parameters that can be obtained.
• The frequency range of the data can have a direct impact on model identification.
• The model identification problem is intricately linked to the error identification problem. In other words, analysis of data requires analysis of the error structure of the measurement.
Chapter 7. Regression Analysis page 7: 14
When Is the Fit Adequate?When Is the Fit Adequate?
• Chi-squared statistic– includes variance of data– should be near the degree of freedom
• Visual examination– should look good– some plots show better sensitivity than others
• Parameter confidence intervals– based on linearization about solution– should not include zero

Plot Sensitivity to Quality of FitPlot Sensitivity to Quality of Fit• Poor Sensitivity
– Modulus– Real
• Modest Sensitivity– Impedance-plane
• only for large impedance values– Imaginary– Log Imaginary
• emphasizes small values• slope suggests new models
– Phase Angle• high-frequency behavior is counterintuitive due to role of solution resistance
– Modified Phase Angle• high-frequency behavior can suggest new models• needs an accurate value for solution resistance
• Excellent Sensitivity– Residual error plots
• trending provides an indicator of problems with the regression

• Regression is strongly influenced by – stochastic errors in data– incomplete frequency range– incorrect or incomplete models
• Some plots more sensitive to fit quality than others.• Quantitative measures of fit quality require
independent assessment of error structure.• The model identification problem is intricately linked

• This means– the process must be stationary in the sense of replication at every
measurement frequency. – As the impedance is sampled at a finite number of frequencies, r(x)
represents the error between an interpolated function and the “true”impedance value at frequency x. In the limit that quadrature and interpolation errors are negligible, the residual errors r(x) should be of the same magnitude as the stochastic noise r().
