A computationally efficient algorithm has been developed for
determining exact or approximate solutions for large scale generalized
fixed charge problems. This algorithm is based on a relaxation
of the Benders decomposition procedure, combined with a linear
mixed integer programming (MIP) algorithm specifically designed to
solve the problem associated with Benders...
A Bayesian approach to the analysis of a two-phase linear
regression model is given. It is assumed that the regression model is
continuous at the change point. The likelihood function is expressed
in a form which explicitly contains the continuity restriction. The
natural conjugate prior distribution for the likelihood function...
The inefficiency of time-shared computer systems compared to
batch processing systems is in the time lost in swapping operations.
The larger the allocated quantum size, the less swap time is incurred.
In order to guard against intolerable response time while lengthening
the quantum size, the response time of a common...
Current observations were obtained at three locations forming
a cross section along 70°34'W longitude in Long Island Sound. Fifteen
days of data were selected from each series so that nearly
simultaneous observations were used in the analysis.
Elementary statistics were computed for the data prior to
performing a least squares...
A computer simulation was developed as a technique for
studying the effects of the process dynamics on the operator's
sampling and control behavior. This methodology was
used to study the effects of the process input memory
variation in the presence of different observation noise
levels. It was concluded that the...
The necessity for the evaluation of training methods on a between
methods basis is suggested. Current methods of training evaluations
are considered, and found to be generally deficient for their
lack of between technique comparisons. The necessity for an outline
of planned comparative analysis of training methods is indicated and...
