Estimating input allocation for farm supply models

Gocht, Alexander - 2008

When building an economic model for supply analysis the aim is to model a decision makingprocess of one or more agents which fits the observed practice as good as possible. Hereby themodeller is often confronted with incomplete information about the production process; particularcrop specific...

The Verification of Probabilistic Forecasts in Decision and Risk Analysis

Jose, Victor Richmond - 2009

Probability forecasts play an important role in many decision and risk analysis applications. Research and practice over the years have shown that the shift towards distributional forecasts provides a more accurate and appropriate means of capturing risk in models for these applications. This...

Entropy Based Moment Selection in Generalized Method of Moments

Shin, Changmock - 2005

GMM provides a computationally convenient estimation method and the resulting estimator can be shown to be consistent and asymptotically normal under the fairly moderate regularity conditions. It is widely known that the information content in the population moment condition has impacts on the...

Risk-based maintenance modeling. Prioritization of maintenance importances and quantification of maintenance effectiveness

Vesely, W.E.; Rezos, J.T. - 2009

This report describes methods for prioritizing the risk importances of maintenances using a Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA). Approaches then are described for quantifying their reliability and risk effects. Two different PRA importance measures, minimal cutset importances and risk reduction...

Adaptive Dynamic Bayesian Networks

Ng, B M - 2008

A discrete-time Markov process can be compactly modeled as a dynamic Bayesian network (DBN)--a graphical model with nodes representing random variables and directed edges indicating causality between variables. Each node has a probability distribution, conditional on the variables represented by...
