A Bayesian Beta Kernel Model For Binary Classification And Online Learning Problems, Cameron A. Mackenzie, Theodore B. Trafalis, Kash Barker
A Bayesian Beta Kernel Model For Binary Classification And Online Learning Problems, Cameron A. Mackenzie, Theodore B. Trafalis, Kash Barker
Cameron A. MacKenzie
Recent advances in data mining have integrated kernel functions with Bayesian probabilistic analysis of Gaussian distributions. These machine-learning approaches can incorporate prior information with new data to calculate probabilistic rather than deterministic values for unknown parameters. This article extensively analyzes a specific Bayesian kernel model that uses a kernel function to calculate a posterior beta distribution that is conjugate to the prior beta distribution. Numerical testing of the beta kernel model on several benchmark datasets reveals that this model's accuracy is comparable with those of the support vector machine (SVM), relevance vector machine, naive Bayes, and logistic regression, and the …

Almost all Dial-a-Ride problems (DARP) described in the literature pertain to the design of optimal routes and schedules for n customers who specify pick-up and drop-off times. In this article we assume that the customer is mainly concerned with the drop-off time because it is the most important to the customer. Based on the drop-off time specified by the customer and the customer's location, a pick-up time is calculated and given to the customer by the dispatching office. We base our formulation on a dynamic fuzzy logic approach in which a new request is assigned to a vehicle. The fuzzy …

Outage Constrained Robust Secure Transmission For Miso Wiretap Channels, Shuai Ma, Mingyi Hong, Engin Song, Xiangfeng Wang, Dechun Sun

In this paper, we consider the robust secure beam-former design for multiple-input-single-output wiretap channels. Assuming that the eavesdroppers' channels are only partially available at the transmitter, we seek to maximize the secrecy rate under the transmit power and the secrecy rate outage probability constraint. The outage probability constraint requires that the secrecy rate exceed certain thresholds with high probability. Therefore, including such constraint in the design naturally ensures the desired robustness. Unfortunately, the presence of the probabilistic constraints makes the problem nonconvex and, hence, difficult to solve. In this paper, we investigate the outage probability constrained secrecy rate maximization problem …

In a densely deployed heterogeneous network (HetNet), the number of pico/micro base stations (BS) can be comparable with the number of the users. To reduce the operational overhead of the HetNet, proper identification of the set of serving BSs becomes an important design issue. In this work, we show that by jointly optimizing the transceivers and determining the active set of BSs, high system resource utilization can be achieved with only a small number of BSs. In particular, we provide formulations and efficient algorithms for such joint optimization problem, under the following two common design criteria: i) minimization of the …

We consider a cloud-based heterogeneous network of base stations (BSs) connected via a backhaul network of routers and wired/wireless links with limited capacity. The optimal provision of such networks requires proper resource allocation across the radio access links in conjunction with appropriate traffic engineering within the backhaul network. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for joint resource allocation across the wireless links and flow control over the entire network. The proposed algorithm, which maximizes the min-rate among all the transmitted commodities, is based on a decomposition approach that leverages both the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) and …

Donald A. Robinson
This presentation reflects on the life experiences (dots)career of Donald Robinson, Ph.D. spanning the years from 1960 t0 2014. Connectiing the Dots can only be done looking backwards and the idea for this presentation was drawn from a presentation of the same title given by Stephen Jobs at a Stanford University graduation.

This paper applies multiple Multi-Criteria Decision Management (MCDM) methods as a mechanism for identifying international markets for a producing nation’s food production. The specific application presented in this paper is for export markets of Iranian Pistachios; however, the model could be applicable across multiple food products and nations. Quantitative and qualitative criteria for market assessment were identified via a literature review. These include: 1) Regulation criterion, 2) Cultural criterion, 3) Transportation distance criterion, 4) Economy criterion, 5) Market potential criterion, 6) Politics criterion, 7) Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA). Shannon’s Entropy method was applied to weight criteria based upon the context-dependent …

Every organization needs suppliers and no organization can exist without suppliers. Therefore, the organizations approach to suppliers and the selection of the appropriate supplier, its acquisition processes and policies, and its relationships with suppliers, is of vital importance, both to organizations and suppliers alike. No organization can be successful without the support of its supplier base, operationally and strategically, short or long-term.To select the best supplier, it is essential to make an analytical decision based upon tangible and intangible criteria. Chose and management of a supplier has to be congruent with organizational strategy. Therefore, the vision and strategy of the …

Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a powerful collection of problem solving tools and the most sophisticated useful method in achieving process stability and improving the process capability through the reduction of variability. In the manufacturing process, every product doesn’t meet the desired range of quality consistently with the customer specification. This inconsistency occurs due to several sources of variations such as machines, operators, materials etc. The Ultimate target of control chart is to monitor the variations, and subsequently control the process. On account of applying SPC methods, this study deals with the control and improvement of the quality of bolt …

Modeling A Severe Supply Chain Disruption And Post-Disaster Decision Making With Application To The Japanese Earthquake And Tsunami, Cameron A. Mackenzie, Kash Barker, Joost R. Santos
Modeling A Severe Supply Chain Disruption And Post-Disaster Decision Making With Application To The Japanese Earthquake And Tsunami, Cameron A. Mackenzie, Kash Barker, Joost R. Santos
Cameron A. MacKenzie
Modern supply chains are increasingly vulnerable to disruptions, and a disruption in one part of the world can cause supply difficulties for companies around the globe. This article develops a model of severe supply chain disruptions in which several suppliers suffer from disabled production facilities and firms that purchase goods from those suppliers may consequently suffer a supply shortage. Suppliers and firms can choose disruption management strategies to maintain operations. A supplier with a disabled facility may choose to move production to an alternate facility, and a firm encountering a supply shortage may be able to use inventory or buy …
