Entropy as a Measure of Uncertainty for PERT Network Completion Time Distributions and Critical Path Probabilities
This study proposes that the entropy function provides a simple and useful tool for project managers to better cope with project uncertainty, and therefore better manage projects. The entropy function has a long and established history as a measure of uncertainty in information theory. If selected activities on PERT networks are modified by reducing their activity times by one or more time unit...
متن کاملOn path correlation and PERT bias
Most studies of project time estimation assume that (a) activity times are mutually independent random variables; many also assume that (b) path completion times are mutually independent. In this paper, we subject the impact of both these assumptions to close scrutiny. Using tools from multivariate analysis, we make a theoretical study of the direction of the error in the classical PERT method ...
متن کاملA Modified Pulse Coupled Neural Network for Shortest Path Computation
Shortest path computation is a classical combinatorial optimization problem. Neural networks, as a class of effective optimization approaches, have been used for processing path optimization problems for a long time. Pulse Coupled Neural Network (PCNN) is a very different neural network, which has also been proposed to compute shortest paths in recent years. In some existing PCNN models, the co...
متن کاملVerified Computation with Probabilities
Because machine calculations are prone to errors that can sometimes accumulate disastrously, computer scientists use special strategies called verified computation to ensure output is reliable. Such strategies are needed for computing with probability distributions. In probabilistic calculations, analysts have routinely assumed (i) probabilities and probability distributions are precisely speci...
متن کاملComputation with imprecise probabilities
An imprecise probability distribution is an instance of second-order uncertainty, that is, uncertainty about uncertainty, or uncertainty for short. Another instance is an imprecise possibility distribution. Computation with imprecise probabilities is not an academic exercise—it is a bridge to reality. In the real world, imprecise probabilities are the norm rather than exception. In large measur...
