This paper provides some reflections on the new macroeconomics of model uncertainty. Model uncertainty is argued to have important positive and normative implications for macroeconomic analysis. We provide a general discussion of the relationship between macroeconomic models that assume a specific model and those that do not and provide some examples from the existing literature. Our discussion...

robust control design of vehicles addresses the effect of uncertainties on the vehicle’s performance. in present study, the robust optimal multi-objective controller design on a non-linear full vehicle dynamic model with 8-degrees of freedom having parameter with probabilistic uncertainty considering two simultaneous conflicting objective functions has been made to prevent the rollover. the obj...

In the real world, risk and uncertainty are two natural properties in the implementation of Mega projects. Most projects fail to achieve the pre-determined objectives due to uncertainty. A linear integer programming optimization model was used in this work to solve a problem in order to choose the most appropriate risk responses for the project risks. A mathematical model, in which work structu...

In traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA) the uncertainty of inputs and outputs is not considered when evaluating the performance of a unit. In other words, effects of uncertainty on optimality and feasibility of models are ignored. This paper introduces a new model for measuring the efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) having interval inputs and outputs. The proposed model is based ...

Variability is inherent randomness in systems, whereas incertitude is due to lack of knowledge. In this paper, a generalized hidden Markov model (GHMM) is proposed to quantify aleatory and epistemic uncertainties simultaneously in multiscale system analysis. The GHMM is based on a new imprecise probability theory that has the form of generalized interval. The new interval probability resembles ...

This paper presents a discrete-time robust control for electrically driven robot manipulators in the task space. A novel discrete-time model-free control law is proposed by employing an adaptive fuzzy estimator for the compensation of the uncertainty including model uncertainty, external disturbances and discretization error. Parameters of the fuzzy estimator are adapted to minimize the estimat...

Facility location decisions play a prominent role in strategic planning of many firms, companies and governmental organizations. Since in many real-world facility location problems, the data are subject to uncertainty, in this paper, we consider the P-center problem under uncertainty of demands. Using Bertsimas and Sim approach, we develop a robust model of the problem as an integer programming...

In this paper an estimator for speech enhancement based on Laplacian Mixture Model has been proposed. The proposed method, estimates the complex DFT coefficients of clean speech from noisy speech using the MMSE  estimator, when the clean speech DFT coefficients are supposed mixture of Laplacians and the DFT coefficients of  noise are assumed zero-mean Gaussian distribution. Furthermore, the MMS...
