Statistical Models for the Support of Overbooking in Transport Service5
نویسندگان
چکیده
Overbooking is a strategy of extra ticket reservation, which needs precise models concerning the probability of ticket acquisition. Without such models a company will have losses related to unused seats or compensation for the absence of these seats. In the paper we consider several models for such a forecast and demonstrate their functionality on real data of one Peruvian railway company. The best model includes an original algorithm of revealing seasonal prevalence.

Increasing Operating Room Profits and Decreasing Wait Lists by Use of a Data-Driven Overbooking Model
Background and Objectives: Operating rooms (ORs) are precious resources in hospitals, as they constitute more than 40% of the hospital revenues.As such, surgical cancellations are very costly to hospitals. Same-day surgery cancellations or no-shows were found to be the main contributing factor to underutilization of operating rooms (ORs) in a public-sector hospital despite the ...
متن کاملOverbooking in Mobile Backhaul
The rapid increase of mobile data subscribers and deployment of broadband radio access networks push mobile operators to upgrade their mobile backhaul from expensive legacy TDM transport to carrier Ethernet for cheaper operational expenditures. The Metro Ethernet Forum has defined a set of Ethernet Virtual Connection services that are adopted to provide scalable Ethernet transport for mobile ba...

the Metro Ethernet Forum has defined a set of Ethernet Virtual Connection services that are adopted to provide scalable Ethernet transport for mobile backhaul. However, these services usually address single cell site backhaul per UNI handoff, not considering statistical multiplexing gain at a hub site which aggregates backhaul traffics of multiple cell sites backhaul pipe. This paper proposed a...
متن کاملOptimizing Airline Overbooking Using a Hybrid Gradient Approach and Statistical Modeling
We develop an overbooking approach for airline revenue management. We estimate a revenue function by employing a statistical modeling approach, specifically a multivariate adaptive regression splines approximation of a stochastic network model. We develop an overbooking cost function using a binomial distribution to model the number of customers that show up for the flight. We implement a hybri...
متن کاملComparison and evaluation of intelligent models for river suspended sediment estimation (case study: Kakareza River, Iran)
Sediment transport constantly influences river and civil structures and the lack ofinformation about its exact amount makes management efforts less effective. Hence,achieving a proper procedure to estimate the sediment load in rivers is important. We usedsupport vector machine model to estimate the sediments of the Kakareza River in LorestanProvince and the results were compared with those obta...
