Bandit Strategies for Ethical Sequential Allocation
The problem of allocating patients in a two treatment clinical trial with dichotomous response is considered. The trial goal is to determine the better treatment while incurring as few patient losses as possible. Several allocation rules are compared and it is found that bandit strategies perform well on both criteria in that they achieve nearly optimal power while keeping expected trial failur...
متن کاملSequential Resource Allocation with Positional Costs
We consider the problem of minimizing the total cost to run a sequence of n tasks in the given order by k agents under the positional cost model. The cost to run a task not only depends on the intrinsic cost of the task itself, but also monotonically related to the position this task is in the working list of the agent assigned. Such a positional effect can naturally arise from the classic sum-...
متن کاملSolving a multicommodity location-allocation problem with non linear costs
This paper deals with a planning problem arising in large logistics companies. The problem consists in defining the optimal number of depots, their location, and their size as well as the routing decisions. Economies of scale are present both in the transportation and in the depots operations. The paper proposes an exact algorithm and an efficient heuristic based on the integration of tabu sear...
متن کاملSequential Allocation With Minimal
This paper describes algorithms for the design of sequential experiments where extensive switching is undesirable. Given an objective function to minimize by sampling between Bernoulli populations, two diierent models are considered. The constraint model optimizes the tradeoo of the maximum number of switches vs. the objective function, while the cost model optimizes the tradeoo for the expecte...
متن کاملa model and extended algorithm for solving an inventory control problem with transportation costs
in this paper, a supplier-retailer transportation system is investigated as a two-echelon environment. there is a single location in each echelon; the unique supplier at the first echelon has to replenish the retailer's warehouse at the second echelon. by the way, the shortage situation should be avoided. for this situation, a model is provided based on the traditional eoq model. the inven...
