Today, there is a crucial need for precise monitoring and prediction of energy consumption at the building level using latest technologies including Internet Things (IoT) data analytics to determine enhance usage. Data-driven models could be used prediction. However, due high non-linearity between inputs outputs models, these improvement in terms accuracy robustness. Therefore, this work aims p...

We deepen our previous analytical studies to include simulations, with special considerations on the effect that the metering mechanisms at the DiffServ boundary nodes have on differentiation. The two metering and marking mechanisms compared are token bucket and exponential weighted moving average (EWMA). The conjecture made in our analytical models is that the EWMA principle marks packets per ...

The successful operation of the present Internet depends mainly upon TCP/IP which employs end-to-end congestion control mechanisms built in the end hosts. In order to further enhance this paradigm of end-to-end control the Random Early Detection algorithm has been proposed, which starts to mark or drop packets at the onset of congestion. The paper addresses issues related to the choice of queue...

A Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) control chart capable of detecting changes in both the mean and the standard deviation for autocorrelated data, referred to as the Max-CUSUM chart for Autocorrelated Process chart (MCAP chart), is proposed. This chart is based on fitting a time series model to the data, and then calculating the residuals. The observations are represented as a first-order autoregressive ...

Objectives: To evaluate and compare the performance of various quality control methods for nuchal translucency (NT) measurements. Methods: Fetal NT measurements performed over a oneyear period in a single center were used for the study. The retrospective quality review methods proposed by the Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) and the Woman & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island (WIHRI) were assessed ...

Semiconductor manufacturing industry has elevated cost in productions. Improvement of production efficiency is always an important goal for manufacturers. Run-to-run control has been widely used in batch manufacturing processes to reduce variations. Threaded exponentially weighted moving average (threaded-EWMA) run-to-run control is an important and stable control scheme. In this paper, we stud...
