Imperfect Data in an Uncertain World

چکیده

Bayesian analysis and modeling, in which uncertainties are quantified in terms of probability, offers an alternative approach to understanding in meteorological applications. The underlying principle, practiced in fields like archaeology and geology, is the accumulation of evidence. The approach provides a mathematical rule to update existing beliefs in light of new evidence. It requires the data be neither uniform in precision nor the evidence complete. Expressing research results in Bayesian terms makes them simpler to understand and makes inconclusive results less prone to misinterpretation. This note shows that a Bayesian analysis produces an arguably more precise estimate of the long-term U.S. hurricane rate.

Entropic Economic Order Quantity Model for Items with Imperfect Quality Considering Constant Rate of Deterioration under Fuzzy Inflationary Conditions

It was suggested in 2004 by some researchers that it might be possible to improve production systems performance by applying the first and second laws of thermodynamics to reduce system entropy. Then these laws were used to modify the economic order quantity (EOQ) model to derive an equivalent entropic order quantity (EnOQ). Moreover the political instability or uncertainty of a country (as wel...

Enhancing User Acceptance of Traffic Services Using Imperfect Information

Due to the imperfection inherent in real world data, future traffic information services like navigation systems have to deal with missing, uncertain, vague and imprecise information. We argue that revealing the imperfection instead of cleaning data as in today’s services will result in higher user acceptance of a service. Such a service can give additional information on how good its returned ...

Robust Control of Electrically Driven Robots in the Task Space

In this paper, a task-space controller for electrically driven robot manipulators is developed using a robust control algorithm. The controller is designed using voltage control strategy. Based on the nominal model of the robotic arm, the desired signals for motor currents are calculated and then the voltage control law is proposed based on the current errors and motor nominal electrical model....

An integrated production-marketing planning model With Cubic production cost function and imperfect production process

The basic assumption in the traditional inventory model is that all outputs are perfect items. However, this assumption is too simplistic in the most real-life situations due to a natural phenomenon in a production process. From this it is deduced that the system produces non-perfects items which can be classified into four groups of perfect, imperfect, reworkable defective and non-reworkable d...

Application of Uncertain Programming to an Inventory Model for Imperfect Quantity under Time Varying Demand

In the present paper we investigate a EOQ model for imperfect items under time variable linear demand. The defective items is being screened out by a 100 % screening process and then sold in a single batch by the end of the 100% screening process with a salvage price. The unsold perfect item during the cycle is sold at a different salvage price at the end of cycle. Two different types for cost ...
