Designing Efficient Taxi Pickup Operations at Airports

This paper provides a practical procedure for designing efficient taxi pick-up operations at airports. How to do this effectively is an open question. Solutions are not available. Practices differ widely, reflecting different approaches to, and lack of research on the subject. The solutions are often unsatisfactory. At many airports, passengers routinely suffer long waits outside, exposed to th...

Economic Efficiency and Frontier Techniques

Most of the literature related to the measurement of economic efficiency has based its analysis either on parametric or on non-parametric frontier methods. The choice of estimation method has been an issue of debate, with some researchers preferring the parametric and others the non-parametric approach. The aim of this paper is to provide a critical and detailed review of both core frontier met...

The Tail Mean-Variance Model and Extended Efficient Frontier

In portfolio theory, it is well-known that the distributions of stock returns often have non-Gaussian characteristics. Therefore, we need non-symmetric distributions for modeling and accurate analysis of actuarial data. For this purpose and optimal portfolio selection, we use the Tail Mean-Variance (TMV) model, which focuses on the rare risks but high losses and usually happens in the tail of r...

Finding efficient frontier of process parameters for plastic injection molding

Product quality for plastic injection molding process is highly related with the settings for its process parameters. Additionally, the product quality is not simply based on a single quality index, but multiple interrelated quality indices. To find the settings for the process parameters such that the multiple quality indices can be simultaneously optimized is becoming a research issue and ...
