This paper proposes a Bayesian method to set tolerance or specification limits on one or more responses and obtain optimal values for a set of controllable factors. The existence of such controllable factors (or parameters) that can be manipulated by the process engineer and that affect the responses is assumed. The dependence between the controllable factors and the responses is assumed to be ...

The objective of an economic performance assessment strategy is to quantitatively measure the effectiveness of a process in an economic framework. Such procedures typically involve the comparison of current operation with an appropriate benchmark to determine potential improvement through improved process control. In this work, a linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controller is used as a benchmark...

in recent years, researchers have become interested in examining the effect of pettlep imagery on motor performance and how pettlep imagery can improve the performance. the aim of this study was to compare the effect of pettlep imagery and balance practice on dynamic balance in the elderly. participants were 42 male elderly in arak city. they were divided into 4 groups based on the scores of dy...

The meaning of probabilistic weather forecasts is discussed from the point of view of a subjectivist concept of probability. The prior degree of belief of probabilities of the weather in question, for a given forecast statement, is expressed analytically as a beta function. Bzyes’ theorem is used to modify this degree of belief in the light of experience, producing a posterior degree of belief ...

Investments in one’s health require a comparison of the potential benefits and costs of providing either preventive or curative care. While preventive care lowers the probability of falling ill, and is often less costly than curative treatments, it does not provide full insurance against illness. An advantage of curative treatments, while more expensive, is that they do not requiring up-front i...
