in this research, a new control policy for the acceptance sampling problem is introduced. decision is made based on the number of defectives items in an inspected batch. the objective of the model is to find a constant control level that minimizes the total costs, including the cost of rejecting the batch, the cost of inspection and the cost of defective items. the optimization is performed by ...

An analysis of mortality is undertaken in two breeds of pigs: Danish Landrace and Yorkshire. Zero-inflated and standard versions of hierarchical Poisson, binomial, and negative binomial Bayesian models were fitted using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). The objectives of the study were to investigate whether there is support for genetic variation for mortality and to study the quality of fit and...

Multivariate random effects meta-analysis (MRMA) is an appropriate way for synthesizing data from studies reporting multiple correlated outcomes. In a Bayesian framework, it has great potential for integrating evidence from a variety of sources. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian model for MRMA of mixed outcomes, which extends previously developed bivariate models to the trivariate case and a...

in this paper, a compound binomial risk model in the presence of a constant dividend barrier is studied. two types of individual claims, main claims and by-claims, are defined, where every by-claim is induced by the main claim randomly and may be delayed for one time period with a certain probability. in the evaluation of the moments of the present value of dividends, the interest rates are ass...

We propose a construction of a trivariate C 1 macro-element over a special tetrahedral partition and compare our construction with known C 1 macro-elements which are summarized in this paper. Also, we propose an improvement of the Alfeld construction of a C 1 quintic macro-element such that the new scheme is able to reproduce all polynomials of total degree 5. x1. Introduction The study of triv...

This paper is concerned with the quantum properties of the binomial model (or, the CRR-model). We show that the single-step binomial model is incomplete in the quantum setting. All risk-neutral states of the single-step binomial model in the quantum setting are characterized. Moreover, it is shown that all single-step models are incomplete in the quantum setting. Therefore, incompleteness is ba...

We approximate a manifold triangulation in IR using smooth implicit algebraic surface patches, which we call A-patches. Here each A-patch is a real iso-contour of a trivariate rational function de ned within a tetrahedron. The rational trivariate function provides increased degrees of freedom so that the number of surface patches needed for free-form shape modeling is signi cantly reduced compa...
