Ranking different factors influencing flight delay

Factors influencing applicant ranking of orthodontic programs.

Orthodontic programs spend considerable amounts of effort to attract, recruit, and interview the best and brightest applicants. Applicants and programs submit ranked preferences, and resident positions are filled by a computerized matching system (Match). The specific aims of this study were to determine the relative importance of certain factors in applicants' Match ranking of orthodontic prog...

Factors influencing in-hospital delay in treatment with intravenous thrombolysis.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Shortening door-to-needle time (DNT) for the thrombolytic treatment of stroke can improve treatment efficacy by reducing onset-to-treatment time. The goal of our study was to explore the association between DNT and outcome and to identify factors influencing DNT to better understand why some patients are treated late. METHODS Prospectively collected data from the Safe I...

Minimizing Flight Delay

In this paper, we model the problem of finding the minimum-delay route as a shortest path problem with stochastic costs. Our solution algorithm uses Monte Carlo simulation and network optimization techniques. Of particular novelty in our approach is the air network sampling that we use in order to accurately model the cascading effect of delays on flights. Our statistical models and simulations...

Factors Influencing Prioritization of Hospital Services for Outsourcing: A Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process Ranking Model

Background and Objectives: Prioritizing the services to be outsourced is a crucial challenge toward efficient outsourcing of health services. In spite of fruitful efforts in improving the outsourcing process, there still remains room and need for developing more systematic approaches. The present paper introduces a novel multi-criteria decision making model based on the fuzzy a...
