Security Analysis On Network Systems Based On Some Stochastic Models, Xiaohu Li
Security Analysis On Network Systems Based On Some Stochastic Models, Xiaohu Li
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
Due to great effort from mathematicians, physicists and computer scientists, network science has attained rapid development during the past decades. However, because of the complexity, most researches in this area are conducted only based upon experiments and simulations, it is critical to do research based on theoretical results so as to gain more insight on how the structure of a network affects the security. This dissertation introduces some stochastic and statistical models on certain networks and uses a k-out-of-n tolerant structure to characterize both logically and physically the behavior of nodes. Based upon these models, we draw several illuminating results …
Application Of Bayesian Networks In Consumer Service Industry, Yuan Gao
Application Of Bayesian Networks In Consumer Service Industry, Yuan Gao
Open Access Theses
Gao, Yuan. M.S.I.E., Purdue University. December 2014. Application of Bayesian Networks in Consumer Service Industry. Major professor: Vincent G. Duffy The purpose of the present study is to explore the application of Bayesian networks in the consumer service industry to model causal relationships within complex risk factor structures using aggregate data. An analysis of the Hawaii tourism market was conducted to find out how visitor characteristics affect their behavior and experience as consumers during the trips, and influence the tourism market outcomes represented by measurable factors. Two hypotheses were proposed regarding the use of aggregate data and the influence of …
Poisson Distributed Individuals Control Charts With Optimal Limits, Negin Enayaty Ahangar
Poisson Distributed Individuals Control Charts With Optimal Limits, Negin Enayaty Ahangar
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The conventional method used in attribute control charts is the Shewhart three sigma limits. The implicit assumption of the Normal distribution in this approach is not appropriate for skewed distributions such as Poisson, Geometric and Negative Binomial. Normal approximations perform poorly in the tail area of the these distributions. In this research, a type of attribute control chart is introduced to monitor the processes that provide count data. The economic objective of this chart is to minimize the cost of its errors which is determined by the designer. This objective is a linear function of type I and II errors. …
