Bivariate models from univariate life distributions: A characterization cum modeling approach

Bivariate life distribution models are of importance for studying interdependent components. We present a generic approach by introducing a new concept of characterized model in stead of a characterized distribution. It strikes a balance between characterization and modeling approaches to eliminate their individual limitations and incorporate their respective strengths. The proposed model, being a characterized one, admits many important properties irrespective of the choice of marginal distributions. The retention of univariate IFR, DFR, IFRA, DFRA, NBU, and NWU class properties in the bivariate setup has been ensured along with some results on series combinations and convolution. No other models, available in the literature, can ensure simultaneous retention of these fundamental and extremely important class properties. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A balancing problem for mixed model assembly lines with a paced moving conveyor

We state a balancing problem for mixed model assembly lines with a paced moving conveyor as: Given the daily assembling sequence of the models, the tasks of each model, the precedence relations among the tasks, and the operations parameters of the assembly line, assign the tasks of the models to the workstations so as to minimize the total overload time. Several characteristics of the problem are investigated. A line‐balancing heuristic is proposed based on a lower bound of the total overload time. A practical procedure is provided for estimating the deviation of any given line‐balance solution from the theoretical optimum. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the methodology. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2004.     

Higher‐order Markov chain models for categorical data sequences*

In this paper we study higher‐order Markov chain models for analyzing categorical data sequences. We propose an efficient estimation method for the model parameters. Data sequences such as DNA and sales demand are used to illustrate the predicting power of our proposed models. In particular, we apply the developed higher‐order Markov chain model to the server logs data. The objective here is to model the users' behavior in accessing information and to predict their behavior in the future. Our tests are based on a realistic web log and our model shows an improvement in prediction. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2004     

BIT系统的三态马尔可夫模型分析

BIT技术是改善系统测试性和诊断能力的重要途径,但是较高的虚警率一直是阻碍BIT广泛应用的一个重要原因。研究过程中将系统状态划分为正常、间歇、故障三种状态,建立了马尔可夫模型,分析、对比了三态模型与两态模型的关系。理论分析结果表明:基于三态模型的BIT,在提高故障检测率的同时,还可以较大程度地降低虚警率。

随着工艺尺寸的不断缩小,组合电路引起的SER(Soft Error Rates)越来越严重.针对使用HSPICE计算组合电路软错误率速度较慢以及使用传统的组合电路软错误率分析工具在对待重汇聚时计算精度不高的问题,本文提出了一种混合模拟的方法,并基于该方法实现了组合电路软错误率分析工具.该混合模拟方法使用HSPICE模拟发生重汇聚的逻辑门;使用快速的脉冲传播算法模拟其他逻辑门.模拟结果表明,该方法可以在速度和精度上达到很好的折中.通过与国际上常用的组合电路软错误率分析工具进行比较发现,在重汇聚发生较多的电路中,该混合模拟方法更能真实地反应组合逻辑中的软错误率.

Screening and selection procedures with control variates and correlation induction techniques

We consider the problem of identifying the simulated system with the best expected performance measure when the number of alternatives is finite and small (often < 500). Recently, more research efforts in the simulation community have been directed to develop ranking and selection (R&S) procedures capable of exploiting variance reduction techniques (especially the control variates). In this article, we propose new R&S procedures that can jointly use control variates and correlation induction techniques (including antithetic variates and Latin hypercube sampling). Empirical results and a realistic illustration show that the proposed procedures outperform the conventional procedures using sample means or control variates alone. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
