Statistical Ranking and Selection (R&S) is a collection of experiment design and analysis techniques for selecting the system with the largest or smallest mean performance from among a finite set of alternatives. R&S procedures have received considerable research attention in the stochastic simulation community, and they have been incorporated in commercial simulation software. All existing pro...

in this work, the influence of different edm parameters (pulse current, pulse voltage, pulse on-time , pulse off-time) in finishing stage on  the surface roughness (r a )  as a result of application copper electrode to a workpiece( cold work steel  din1.2379)  has been investigated. design of the experiment was chosen as full factorial. statistical analysis has been done and artificial neural n...

the oil content of the wax produced in a dewaxing process is the key economic parameter thatshould be reduced as much as possible. some factors such as the type of solvents, cooling rate,temperature, and solvent to oil ratio influence the dewaxing process. due to the fact that crude oildiffers from place to place and since the operational conditions for wax extraction vary for differenttypes of...

cauliflower-like nanostructure of cadmium oxide was synthesized by utilizing mechanochemical reaction followed calcination procedure for the first time. the design of experiment (doe) by taguchi method was used to study influence of the chosen factors and to consider optimum conditions of the experiments. the temperature of calcining, the duration of milling, the duration of calcining and react...

friction-stir welding process is a novel method of solid state welding, which produces heat due to friction between the pin, the shoulder and the workpiece. this heat causes a paste area. shoulder pressure and pin spin cause edges integration and lead to welding. in this study, firstly, the feasibility of welding of steel sheet (en10130) with a thickness of 1.5mm has been tested by 58 experimen...

In this paper, we present the main goals, questions and hypotheses of our research related to provide automated support environments to conduct controlled experiments in software engineering (SE). Here, we introduce a model-driven approach that has been developed for supporting the formalization and execution of SE experiments. It consists of: (i) a domain specific language (DSL) for process sp...
