چکیده

We study an optimal nonparametric regression model for a threshold detector exposed to a noisy, subthreshold signal. The problem of recovering the signal is similar to that faced by neurons in nervous systems, although our model is intended to be normative rather than realistic. In our approach, the time-integrating activity of the neuron is modeled by kernel regression. Several aspects of the performance of the model are studied, including the existence of an optimal amount of noise (stochastic resonance). We construct a sequential, data-driven procedure for estimating the subthreshold signal. The performance of our model for threshold data is compared with kernel estimation for fully observed data. Finally, we discuss differences between our estimator and the best estimator for a constant signal.

Effects of integrating physical and financial flows through a closed-loop supply chain network under uncertain demand and return

The impact of financial challenges on the profit of a supply chain, have caused the researcher to model the supply chain network by considering the operational and financial dimensions. Also, the establishment of a closed loop supply chain (CLSC) network has a high effect on economic profit. So, the purpose of this study is to design a stochastic closed loop supply chain network by considering ...

A New Dynamic Random Fuzzy DEA Model to Predict Performance of Decision Making Units

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a methodology for measuring the relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) which ‎consume the same types of inputs and producing the same types of outputs. Believing that future planning and predicting the ‎efficiency are very important for DMUs, this paper first presents a new dynamic random fuzzy DEA model (DRF-DEA) with ‎common weights (using...
