Estimating Price Variability in Agriculture: Implications for Decision Makers

Estimating Price Variability in Agriculture: Implications for Decision-Makers

Using a stochastic version of the POLYSYS modeling framework, an examination of projected variability in agricultural prices, supply, demand, stocks, and incomes is conducted. Random yield and export shocks are introduced in each of 100 iterations of a ten-year simulation and planted acreage, production, total use, ending stock, stock-to-use, season average price, and net return results are pre...

Interval-Valued Hesitant Fuzzy Method based on Group Decision Analysis for Estimating Weights of Decision Makers

In this paper, a new soft computing group decision method based on the concept of compromise ratio is introduced for determining decision makers (DMs)' weights through the group decision process under uncertainty. In this method, preferences and judgments of the DMs or experts are expressed by linguistic terms for rating the industrial alternatives among selected criteria as well as the relativ...

Variability in blood alcohol concentrations. Implications for estimating individual results.

In a carefully controlled drinking situation there was great individual variation in peak blood alcohol concentrations (BACS) for given doses of alcohol. Alcohol nomograms and tables based on average results from such studies could be misleading since they could frequently result in serious underestimates or overestimates of peak BACS.
