ASSET ALLOCATION AND ANNUITY-PURCHASE STRATEGIES TO MINIMIZE THE PROBABILITY OF FINANCIAL RUIN
(Blackwell Publishing Inc, 2006-10)
Estimating the distributional impact of time-of-day pricing of electricity
(Elsevier, 1984)
We consider the general problem of recovering estimates of welfare measures such as willingness to pay, price indices, etc. from demand data with particular emphasis on the problem of unobserved taste variation across ...
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 ...
Production planning for flexible flow systems with limited machine flexibility
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-07)
A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is highly capital-intensive and FMS users are concerned with achieving high system utilization. The production planning function for setting up an FMS prior to production should be ...
Analytic Models for When and How to Expedite in Make-to-Order Systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-11)
Expediting is defined as using overtime or subcontracting to supplement regular production. This is usually done when the number of backorders has grown to be unacceptably large. In this paper, we consider analytic models ...
CONVERGENCE OF AMERICAN OPTION VALUES FROM DISCRETE- TO CONTINUOUS-TIME FINANCIAL MODELS 1
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1994-10)
Base-stock control for single-product tandem make-to-stock systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-01)
In this paper, we consider a multiple-stage tandem production/inventory system producing a single product. Processing time at each stage is assumed to have a general stationary processing time distribution. The cost of ...
On the structure of moving average processes
(Elsevier, 1977-07)
This paper uses Hilbert space methods to develop a rigorous proof that the sum of two uncorrelated moving average processes of order q1 and q2 is an MA process of order q [less, double equals] max (q1, q2). The methods ...
A Pareto Model for OLAP View Size Estimation
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-04)
On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) aims at gaining useful information quickly from large amounts of data residing in a data warehouse. To improve the quickness of response to queries, pre-aggregation is a useful strategy. ...
