  • A Bayesian analysis for economic design of single sampling plans for a sequence of lots

    Creator:
    Taracena, Fernando L.
    Abstract:
    A dynamic approach to the Bayesian theory of sampling inspection by attributes for the single sampling case is presented. A model is developed which assumes a sequence of lots of equal known size and lots generated by a process operating in a random manner. The model also assumes constant associated...

  • Comparison of response surface model and Taguchi methodology for robust design

    Creator:
    Sudasna-na-Ayudthya, Prapaisri
    Abstract:
    The principal objective of this study was to compare the results of a proposed method based upon the response surface model to the Taguchi method. To modify the Taguchi method, the proposed model was developed to encompass the following objectives. The first, with the exception of the Taguchi inner array,...

    Azimi-Zonooz, Aydeen
    Abstract:
    The goal of this study is to test the accuracy of various mutual fund timing and selectivity models under a range of portfolio managerial skills and varying market conditions. Portfolio returns in a variety of skill environments are generated using a simulation procedure. The generated portfolio returns are based on...
