Forecast Of Wireless Communication Technology: A Comparative Study Of Regression And Tfdea Model, Dong-Joon Lim, Timothy R. Anderson, Jisun Kim
Engineering and Technology Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
This study presents a formal comparison of TFDEA with regression model to forecast wireless communication technology. In addition to the data set from the former research, up-to-2011 4G network technologies are added and analyzed. The research was designed to set the point of forecasting in 2001 so that technologies between 2001 and 2011 are to be forecasted using data set between 1979 and 2001. The results from both TFDEA and regression model are compared and discussed. This comparative study can provide forecasters with different aspects between 'best-practice measurement' and 'average practice measurement' and, ultimately, help to select the suitable approach …

By increasing demand for energy among nations the rate of fossil fuel consumption is boosting. The raise of fossil fuel consumption has motivated nations to gain some capabilities for the purpose of dealing with some consequences; the more fossil fuel consumption, the higher price for energy, and the higher rate of GHG as well. Recently smart grid technology has been introduced as a healing approach in terms of using energy more efficiently. This study made an effort to have some discussions around smart grid technology development in the United States by patent analysis and forecasting. The outcomes in both technology …
R&D Target-Setting Difficulties Addressed Through Emergent Method: Technology Forecasting Using Data Envelopment Analysis, Ann-Marie Lamb, Timothy R. Anderson, Tugrul Unsal Daim
R&D Target-Setting Difficulties Addressed Through Emergent Method: Technology Forecasting Using Data Envelopment Analysis, Ann-Marie Lamb, Timothy R. Anderson, Tugrul Unsal Daim
Engineering and Technology Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
The aim of this study is to provide a foundation for researchers and managers to further discuss and resolve difficulties associated with R&D target-setting. While multiple studies mention the difficulty of R&D target-setting, few studies exist which compile reasons for these difficulties; nor do they address this issue in any detail. This paper provides what appears to be one of the first studies outlining reasons for R&D target-setting difficulties through a literature review; then also provides an initial set of analyses and results after applying an emerging quantitative method, Technology Forecasting Using Data Envelopment Analysis (TFDEA) addressing these difficulties, step-by-step …
An Introduction To Technology Forecasting With A Tfdea Excel Add-In, Dong-Joon Lim, Timothy R. Anderson
An Introduction To Technology Forecasting With A Tfdea Excel Add-In, Dong-Joon Lim, Timothy R. Anderson
Engineering and Technology Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
This paper describes an Excel add-in program that can run TFDEA (Technology Forecasting using Data Envelopment Anlaysis) within the spreadsheet. It utilizes freely available statistical software R and its packages developed by Statconn. This add-in allows access to both user-friendly tools for data manipulation in spreadsheet available and the power and precision of the results via R.
