چکیده

The overall purpose of the ‘Statistical Points and Pitfalls’ series is to help readers and researchers alike increase awareness of how to use statistics and why/how we fall into inappropriate choices or interpretations. We hope to help readers understand common misconceptions and give clear guidance on how to avoid common pitfalls by offering simple tips to improve your reporting of quantitative research findings. Each entry discusses a commonly encountered inappropriate practice and alternatives from a pragmatic perspective with minimal mathematics involved. We encourage readers to share comments on or suggestions for this section on Twitter, using the hashtag: #mededstats.

یکپارچه‌سازی بهینه انرژی باد در برنامه‌ریزی توسعه تولید انرژی الکتریکی با در نظر گرفتن نوسانات و عدم قطعیت

Wind Power generation integrated in electrical power system can cause of variation and uncertainty which must be considered in process of generation expansion planning (GEP). The goal of this study is to model the GEP problem integrated with wind power generation and introduce the fuzzy-probability model to consider variation and uncertainty of wind power generation. To verify and optimize the ...

Optimal Relief Order Quantity under Stochastic Demand and Lead-time

In this paper, a newsboy model is developed under uniformly distributed lead-time and demand that is an appropriate assumption in obtaining optimal relief inventory of humanitarian disasters. It is noteworthy that limited historical data are in hand on relief operations. Hence, analytical and approximate solutions for optimal relief order quan­tity were derived. The effect of lead-time uncertai...

Distribution network design under demand uncertainty using genetic algorithm and Monte Carlo simulation approach: a case study in pharmaceutical industry

Distribution network design as a strategic decision has long-term effect on tactical and operational supply chain management. In this research, the location-allocation problem is studied under demand uncertainty. The purposes of this study were to specify the optimal number and location of distribution centers and to determine the allocation of customer demands to distribution centers. The m...

Relative Efficiency Measurement of Banks Using Network DEA Model in Uncertainty Situation

Traditional DEA method considered decision making units (DMUs) as a black box, regardless of their internal structure and appraisal performance with respect to the final inputs and outputs of the units. However, in many real systems we have internal structure. For this reason, network DEA models have been developed. Parallel network DEA models are a special variation which inputs of unit alloca...

Resilient Decision Making in Open Pit Short-term Production Planning in Presence of Geologic Uncertainty

Short-term production plans are the basis for operational mine production schedules. They concentrate on making long-term mine plans operationally feasible. Furthermore, some variables such as ore grade and tonnage govern mine production systems and cause uncertainty in the supply of raw materials to the mills. Due to the quality variation of material, short-term production optimization is an u...
