Information Systems Knowledge: Foundations, Definitions, and Applications
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-06)
A key component of research within information systems is the use of valid instruments to measure numerous aspects of technology, organizations, and people. Validated instruments exist for many different variables and more ...
Quantifying the uncertainty about the half-life of deviations from PPP
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2002-03)
We propose a Bayesian framework in which the uncertainty about the half-life of deviations from purchasing power parity can be quantified. Based on the responses to a survey study, we propose a prior probability distribution ...
Integrated maintenance and production control of a deteriorating production system
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-05)
We consider a make-to-stock production/inventory system consisting of a single deteriorating machine which produces a single item. We formulate the integrated decisions of maintenance and production using a Markov Decision ...
Control of a manufacturing system with random product yield and downward substitutability
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-09)
We consider a manufacturing system where the quality of the end product is uncertain and is graded into one of several quality levels after production. We assume stochastic demand for each quality level, stochastic production ...
Modeling and analysis of disease and risk factors through learning Bayesian networks from observational data
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2008-04)
This paper focuses on identification of the relationships between a disease and its potential risk factors using Bayesian networks in an epidemiologic study, with the emphasis on integrating medical domain knowledge and ...
Wealth dynamics: reducing noise in panel data
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2006-09)
Although the asset data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) is of very high quality, there is sufficient noise to frustrate attempts to study saving behaviour by examining wave-to-wave change in wealth. In this ...
Identifying the period of a step change in high-yield processes
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2009-11)
Quality control charts have proven to be very effective in detecting out-of-control states. When a signal is detected a search begins to identify and eliminate the source(s) of the signal. A critical issue that keeps the ...
ASSET ALLOCATION AND ANNUITY-PURCHASE STRATEGIES TO MINIMIZE THE PROBABILITY OF FINANCIAL RUIN
(Blackwell Publishing Inc, 2006-10)
Reliability estimation based on operational data of manufacturing systems
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2008-11)
Maintenance management has a direct influence on equipment reliability and safety. However, a large portion of traditional maintenance models and reliability analysis methods usually assumes that only perfect maintenance ...
Control of manufacturing networks which contain a batch processing machine
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-11)
We consider the control of a batch processing machine which is part of a larger manufacturing network of machines. Systems consisting of a batch processing machine and one or more unit-capacity machines in tandem are ...
