When a designed experiment is conducted, the exact levels of controlled experimental variables specified by the design may not be attainable. Two different types of situations can occur in which the actual settings of the design variables deviate from the target design settings. In one case, the...

As decisions become more and more complex, decision makers are faced with the challenge of sorting through many variables to arrive at a sound decision. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a tool, that allows a systematic, logical approach to reducing complex issues into manageable pieces....

We investigate the suitability and effectiveness of iterative methods for solving the weighted-least-square (WLS) state estimation problem on RISC, vector, and parallel processors. Several of the most popular iterative methods are tested and evaluated. The best performing preconditioned...
