A confidence distribution approach for an efficient network
This paper presents a new approach for network meta-analysis that combines multivariate con9 fidence distributions (CDs). Network meta-analysis generalizes the traditional meta-analysis of 10 pairwise comparisons to synthesizing studies for multiple treatment comparisons, and supports 11 inference on all treatments in the network simultaneously. It can often strengthen inference on 12 a pairwis...
متن کاملA model for distribution centers location-routing problem on a multimodal transportation network with a meta-heuristic solving approach
Nowadays, organizations have to compete with different competitors in regional, national and international levels, so they have to improve their competition capabilities to survive against competitors. Undertaking activities on a global scale requires a proper distribution system which could take advantages of different transportation modes. Accordingly, the present paper addresses a location-r...
متن کاملAccumulating IS Theories Using a Network Approach Towards Meta-Analysis
The adoption and usage of new information and communication technologies (ICT) have been investigated from different theoretical points of view, such as Diffusion of Innovations (DOI; Rogers, 1995) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM; Davis, 1989). Numerous empirical studies are available, but systematic reviews that accumulate the results are not abundant. Meta-analysis is a way to accumu...
متن کاملProfitability Analysis in Distribution: A Neural Network Approach
The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether neural networks and, especially the Kohonen’s self-organizing map network, can be used in profitability analysis in distribution. We focus on the physical distribution part of the supply chain and build a neural network model a profitability map using shipment data from a large company. We show how the profitability map can be used in an effic...
متن کاملA confidence interval approach to data analysis
The objective of ecological experiments is often to determine whether observed effects are large enough to be ecologically important. Despite this, effect size measures and associated measures of precision are frequently missing in published ecological research. In many cases, P-values are the only information available with which to assess the ecological importance of observed effects, but the...
