Visual Sequential Search Test Analysis: An Algorithmic Approach

An algorithmic approach to identify irrelevant information in sequential teams

An algorithmic framework that identifies irrelevant data (i.e., data thatmay be ignoredwithout any loss of optimality) at agents of a sequential team is presented. This framework relies on capturing the properties of a sequential team that do not depend on the specifics of state spaces, the probability law, the system dynamics, or the cost functions. To capture these properties the notion of a ...

A Fuzzy Approach to Sequential Failure Analysis Using Petri nets

In highly competitive industrial market, the concept of failure analysis is an unavoidable fact in complex industrial systems. Reliability of such systems not only depends on the reliability of each element of these systems, but also depends on occurrence of sequence of failures. In this paper, a novel approach to sequential failure analysis is proposed which is based upon fuzzy logic and the c...

Optimal Sequential Search: A Bayesian Approach

To the classical model of searching for one object out of n , we add uncertainty about the parameters π of the distribution of the n objects among the m boxes. Adopting a Bayesian approach, we study the optimal sequential search strategy. For the case n = 1, we obtain a generalization of the fundamental result of Blackwell: the strategy which searches at each stage in the “most inviting” box is...
