Production Box Cost Estimating Relationships For Dod Avionics, Carla J. Cisneros, Edward D. White, Brandon M. Lucas, Jonathan D. Ritschel, Robert D. Fass, Shawn M. Valentine Oct 2024

Production Box Cost Estimating Relationships For Dod Avionics, Carla J. Cisneros, Edward D. White, Brandon M. Lucas, Jonathan D. Ritschel, Robert D. Fass, Shawn M. Valentine

Faculty Publications

The authors use historical information obtained from the Cost Assessment Data Enterprise to estimate recurring production unit cost for DoD avionics via cost estimating relationships (CERs). The specific modeled responses include mean unit cost, median unit cost, and the 100th production unit cost (T100) utilizing learning curve theory. For T100, the authors adopt both a multiplicative and an additive error for CER comparison. Recommended CERs consist of the mean unit cost and the T100 utilizing a multiplicative error. Moreover, results reveal that weight has a significant effect on cost as well as a potential underaccounting of real price change or …


Cover Song Identification - A Novel Stem-Based Approach To Improve Song-To-Song Similarity Measurements, Lavonnia Newman, Dhyan Shah, Chandler Vaughn, Faizan Javed Sep 2020

Cover Song Identification - A Novel Stem-Based Approach To Improve Song-To-Song Similarity Measurements, Lavonnia Newman, Dhyan Shah, Chandler Vaughn, Faizan Javed

SMU Data Science Review

Music is incorporated into our daily lives whether intentional or unintentional. It evokes responses and behavior so much so there is an entire study dedicated to the psychology of music. Music creates the mood for dancing, exercising, creative thought or even relaxation. It is a powerful tool that can be used in various venues and through advertisements to influence and guide human reactions. Music is also often "borrowed" in the industry today. The practices of sampling and remixing music in the digital age have made cover song identification an active area of research. While most of this research is focused …


Modeling Fico Score And Loan Amount, Ashleigh Romer Apr 2020

Modeling Fico Score And Loan Amount, Ashleigh Romer

Georgia College Student Research Events

In this research, we use Lending Club data from Kaggle to analyze FICO scores and loan amounts funded using multiple predictors. Lending Club is a US peer-to-peer lending company, headquartered in San Francisco, California. First, we cleaned our big data with 1,048,575 rows and 97 columns and then performed exploratory data analysis. We also used feature engineering and subset selection methods to build a linear model to predict FICO score and amount funded of customers loan requests. Overall, we found that FICO score is best modeled using backward regression which gives an exponential function with the predictors being grade, title, …


Yelp’S Review Filtering Algorithm, Yao Yao, Ivelin Angelov, Jack Rasmus-Vorrath, Mooyoung Lee, Daniel W. Engels Aug 2018

Yelp’S Review Filtering Algorithm, Yao Yao, Ivelin Angelov, Jack Rasmus-Vorrath, Mooyoung Lee, Daniel W. Engels

SMU Data Science Review

In this paper, we present an analysis of features influencing Yelp's proprietary review filtering algorithm. Classifying or misclassifying reviews as recommended or non-recommended affects average ratings, consumer decisions, and ultimately, business revenue. Our analysis involves systematically sampling and scraping Yelp restaurant reviews. Features are extracted from review metadata and engineered from metrics and scores generated using text classifiers and sentiment analysis. The coefficients of a multivariate logistic regression model were interpreted as quantifications of the relative importance of features in classifying reviews as recommended or non-recommended. The model classified review recommendations with an accuracy of 78%. We found that reviews …


A 10-Point Approximating Subdivision Scheme Based On Least Squares Technique, Ghulam Mustafa, Muhammad T. Iqbal Dec 2016

A 10-Point Approximating Subdivision Scheme Based On Least Squares Technique, Ghulam Mustafa, Muhammad T. Iqbal

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, a 10-point approximating subdivision scheme is presented. Least squares technique for fitting the polynomial of degree 9 to data is used to develop this scheme. The proposed strategy can be used to generate a family of schemes. The important characteristics of the scheme are also discussed. Graphical efficiency of the scheme is shown by applying it on different types of data.


Design Optimization Of A Stochastic Multi-Objective Problem: Gaussian Process Regressions For Objective Surrogates, Juan Sebastian Martinez, Piyush Pandita, Rohit K. Tripathy, Ilias Bilionis Aug 2016

Design Optimization Of A Stochastic Multi-Objective Problem: Gaussian Process Regressions For Objective Surrogates, Juan Sebastian Martinez, Piyush Pandita, Rohit K. Tripathy, Ilias Bilionis

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium

Multi-objective optimization (MOO) problems arise frequently in science and engineering situations. In an optimization problem, we want to find the set of input parameters that generate the set of optimal outputs, mathematically known as the Pareto frontier (PF). Solving the MOO problem is a challenge since expensive experiments can be performed only a constrained number of times and there is a limited set of data to work with, e.g. a roll-to-roll microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) reactor for manufacturing high quality graphene. State-of-the-art techniques, e.g. evolutionary algorithms; particle swarm optimization, require a large amount of observations and do not …


Analysis Of Roms Estimated Posterior Error Utilizing 4dvar Data Assimilation, Joseph Patrick Horton Jun 2011

Analysis Of Roms Estimated Posterior Error Utilizing 4dvar Data Assimilation, Joseph Patrick Horton

Mathematics

The appropriateness of the approximate error calculated by the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) is analyzed using Four-Dimensional Data Assimilation (4DVAR) performed on a numerical model of the San Luis Obispo Bay. An effective method of sampling data to minimize the actual error associated with the assimilated numerical model is explored by using different data sampling methods. An idealized state of the SLO bay region ("Real Run") is created to be used as the real ocean, then a numerical model of this region is created approximating this Real Run; this is known as the "Simulated State". By taking samples from …


Bivariate Current Status Data, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Nicholas P. Jewell Sep 2002

Bivariate Current Status Data, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Nicholas P. Jewell

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

In many applications, it is often of interest to estimate a bivariate distribution of two survival random variables. Complete observation of such random variables is often incomplete. If one only observes whether or not each of the individual survival times exceeds a common observed monitoring time C, then the data structure is referred to as bivariate current status data (Wang and Ding, 2000). For such data, we show that the identifiable part of the joint distribution is represented by three univariate cumulative distribution functions, namely the two marginal cumulative distribution functions, and the bivariate cumulative distribution function evaluated on the …
