Adequate prediction of a response variable using a multiple linear regression model is shown in this article to be related to the presence of multicollinearities among the predictor variables. If strong multicollinearities are present in the data, this information can be used to determine when prediction is likely to be accurate. A region of prediction, R, is proposed as a guide for prediction purposes. This region is related to a prediction interval when the matrix of predictor variables is of full column rank, but it can also be used when the sample is undersized. The Gorman-Toman ten-variable data is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the region R. 相似文献
An optimization method is given for solving problems where a portion of the explicit mathematical form is unknown but can be evaluated. The solution scheme is an iterative process utilizing optimization and subsystem evaluation (such as via simulation). Conditions for the convergence of the iterative process are given. Several published application articles are noted as using this basic methodology. The method is superior to most other numerical optimization procedures. However, the class of problems for which the method is applicable is restricted to problems with enough known structure to generate a convergent iterative procedure. Three numerical examples are given and comparisons made with several other methods of optimizing unknown systems. 相似文献
In this article we consider the optimal control of an M[X]/M/s queue, s ≧ 1. In addition to Poisson bulk arrivals we incorporate a reneging function. Subject to control are an admission price p and the service rate μ. Thus, through p, balking response is induced. When i customers are present a cost h(i,μ,p) per unit time is incurred, discounted continuously. Formulated as a continuous time Markov decision process, conditions are given under which the optimal admission price and optimal service rate are each nondecreasing functions of i. In Section 4 we indicate how the infinite state space may be truncated to a finite state space for computational purposes. 相似文献
Preference for food in the function of the time since last consumption and total preference in the function of eating frequency are equivalent mathematical representations of attitudes governing food consumption. The observed and postulated properties of these functions imply a formal correspondence between preference maximizing and variety seeking behavior. 相似文献
