Time Series Analysis As An Approach To Short Term Forecasting Of Unit Volume In A Part Of The Electrical Industry, William C. Cleveland

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This study investigates the use of time series analysis to improve short-term forecasting of unit volume in a segment of the electrical industry. Various forecasting methods were compared based on their theoretical approaches and effectiveness in reducing forecast error residuals. The Box-Jenkins methodology was identified as the most reliable, outperforming other methods in producing accurate forecasts and parameter estimates for future demand. Statistical tests, including the F-ratio, confirmed the superiority of Box-Jenkins models over competing techniques, which often relied on erroneous assumptions. Key findings highlight the availability of better forecasting models, the potential of Box-Jenkins techniques to optimize forecasting outcomes, …

Business Valuations Relating To Corporate Liquidations, Joseph H. Wildt

Theses

This culminating project by Joseph H. Wildt, submitted in partial fulfillment of a Master of Arts degree at Lindenwood Colleges in January 1980, provides an in-depth exploration of business valuation principles specifically in the context of corporate liquidations. The study integrates historical, theoretical, and practical knowledge acquired through academic coursework to analyze valuation methodologies and their applications.

The project begins by tracing the evolution of valuation theory from ancient philosophy to modern economic thought, emphasizing how historical, social, and economic conditions have influenced current valuation practices. It explores foundational theories such as the classical, neoclassical, and institutional schools of thought …

Two Backtrack Algorithms For The Radio Frequency Intermodulation Problem, Susumu Morito, Harvey M. Salkin, David E. Williams

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Two or more radio signals, transmitted from a small platform (e.g., a ship, satellite, or airplane, etc.), tend to produce an intermodulation product which could distort a receive signal. The intensity of intermodulation interference due to a given intermodulation frequency is known to be closely related to the lowest order, or simply the order, of the intermodulation product which can be found by solving a single constraint integer program with variables unrestricted in sign, where coefficients of the constraint equation correspond to frequencies. Two variations of backtrack, or search enumeration algorithms, called the primal and dual backtrack algorithms, are developed …

The Optimal Selection Of A Portfolio Of Commodity Futures Trading Advisors, Harvey M. Salkin, Peter H. Ritchken

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

In response to rising inflation, investors are increasingly exploring commodity futures for higher returns. This study examines the dynamics of managed commodity futures accounts, focusing on two investor classes: active portfolio managers and passive investors relying on professional advisors. It identifies the challenges investors face in selecting advisors, highlighting the need for detailed advisor information and comparative analyses. Additionally, it addresses the complexities of constructing optimal portfolios of advisors or investments in open-ended commodity pools to balance risk and reward. The authors conducted a three-month study (ending June 1979) aiming to develop a quantitative investment system for designing portfolios that …

Applications Of Multi-Attribute Utility Theory In The Health Care Delivery System Since 1970, Durjoy Kumar Chaudhuri, Arnold Reisman

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The Multi-Attribute Utility Theory is a special branch of a more generalized body of theories collectively known as "Decision Theory". Peter Fishburn described it as the "personalistic prescriptive theory of choice for individual decisions". It is personalistic because the decision maker is an indispensable component in almost every phase of research since his personal values and judgements are intimately involved in a decision-making activity. It should be stressed that the multi-attribute utility theory was never meant to be the panacea of any or all decision problems. It helps the decision maker to choose a strategy (or a course of action) …

Efficient Employment Of Cohorts Of Labor In The U.S. Economy: An Illustration Of A Method, A. E. Boardman, Steven M. Miller, A. P. Schinnar

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

This paper presents a model for the analysis of efficient labor force participation in the U.S. economy. Ridge regression estimates of the elasticities of cohorts of labor, classified by sex and occupation, are used in conjunction with wage data to illustrate the derivation of efficient allocation of labor cohorts in five economic sectors. These efficient constructs are compared with actual census data for 1960 and 1970. The results, while tentative, show a trend toward more efficient utilization of labor and greater participation by women in the work force.

The Role Of Simulation In Health Care Delivery Operations Management Studies, Arnold Reisman, N. G. Duraiswamy

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Simulation has been used in a number of different roles and in rather disparate health services operations management settings. The paper discusses some of these role/setting combinations to indicate this methodology's depth of usefulness and breadth of applications in a sector approaching 10% of the GNP -- a sector which is under great pressure to contain costs, yet maintain and expand the quality and quantity of services rendered.

A Forecasting-Programming Method For Placement-Sales Decisions For A Beef Feedlot, Franz Schwarz, J. B. Hassler

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

This bulletin reports on a practical multi-period linear programming procedure as a management tool for decisions on placements and marketings for a beef feedlot operating over time under market uncertainty. Although the conclusions were based on application to an individual firm with uniqueness in time and space, the model should be equally appropriate for any firm's production and marketing decisions through time.

The General Theory Of Coordinate Transformations In Linear Programming, Daniel Solow

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

For any linear program (LP), a specific change of coordinate systems is recommended prior to solving the problem. In the event that all variables have known finite lower and upper bounds, the result of the transformation is an equivalent LP for which any state-of-the-art simplex code can be used. When some (or all) of the variables are unbounded, the origin of the suggested transformed problem may not be a basic feasible solution from which to initiate the usual Phase I procedure. A slightly modified simplex algorithm is proposed to solve the transformed problem.
