usually, in monitoring schemes the nominal value of the process parameter is assumed known. however, this assumption is violated owing to costly sampling and lack of data particularly in healthcare systems. on the other hand, applying a fixed control limit for the risk-adjusted bernoulli chart causes to a variable in-control average run length performance for patient populations with dissimilar...

This paper studies whether information, communication or automation technologies can enable the consumer demand response necessary to expand dynamic pricing in resource markets such as electricity. Treatment effects from household random assignment to technologies and different price distributions reveal substantial demand reductions during critical and peak times for all technologies, with aut...

thermal modeling of an automotive cabin was performed in this paper to predict the inside cabin air temperature. to implement this task, thermal and ventilation loads were estimated and the mass and energy balance conservation equations for dry air and water vapor with considering a new parameter (air circulation ratio) as well as the balance equations of internal components of a cabin were der...

One of the main characteristics of “financialization” is the redistribution of income in favor of shareholders, at the expense of workers. In this paper, we interpret pro-shareholder redistribution as a decrease in both retention ratio and wage share. Using both the Kaleckian macroeconomic model and the Minskyan taxonomy of finance regime, we investigate the long-run effects of such parametric ...

This paper develops a simple three-region model of the global economy along structuralist lines, with the North, NICs, and the (rest of the) South. The North produces an investment-cumconsumption good while the NICs and the South produce two different consumption goods. The North grows with excess capacity along Kalecki-Keynes lines; the NICs are modelled along Marxian lines with a given rate o...

In object-oriented languages, overloaded methods with multiple dispatch extend the functionality of existing classes, and multiple inheritance allows a class to reuse code in multiple classes. However, both multiple dispatch and multiple inheritance introduce the possibility of ambiguous method calls that cannot be resolved at run time. To guarantee no ambiguous calls at run time, the overloade...

Process measurements can be used in an optimization framework to compensate the effects of run-time uncertainty. Among the various options for input adaption, a promising approach consists of directly enforcing the Necessary Conditions of Optimality (NCO) that include two parts: the active constraints and the sensitivities. In this paper, the variations of the NCO under parametric uncertainty a...

Run-time reconfigurable FPGAs are powerful platforms for realising software-defined radio systems. This paper introduces a parametric approach to designing such systems based on application and device parameters. We analyse the potential for reconfiguration in several software-defined radio components and demonstrate how the degree of parallelism in a reconfigurable module influences reconfigur...

We present a simple direct approach for solving the ICA problem, using density estimation and maximum likelihood. Given a candidate orthogonal frame, we model each of the coordinates using a semi-parametric density estimate based on cubic splines. Since our estimates have two continuous derivatives , we can easily run a second order search for the frame parameters. Our method performs very favo...

A nonparametric control chart based on a bivariate signed-rank test is developed for monitoring the changes in the location of a bivariate process. The average run length performance of the proposed nonparametric chart is investigated using a simulation study and is compared with a parametric control chart under bivariate normal and bivariate double exponential distributions. Further the perfor...
