Dynamic and Robust Capacitated Facility Location in Time Varying Demand Environments
Uster, Halit (contributor) - 2009
This dissertation studies models for locating facilities in time varying demandenvironments. We describe the characteristics of the time varying demand that motivatethe analysis of our location models in terms of total demand and the changein value and location of the demand of each customer....

ACRE: A Revenue-Based Alternative to Price-Based Commodity Payment Programs
Cooper, Joseph C. - 2009
This paper develops a stochastic model for estimating the probability density function of the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE), a revenue-based commodity support payment that is offered under the 2008 Farm Act as an alternative to the traditional suite of price-based commodity payments, that...

Payments under the Average Crop Revenue Program: Implications for Government Costs and Producer Preferences
Cooper, Joseph C. - 2009
This paper develops a stochastic model for comparing payments to U.S. corn producers under the U.S. Senate’s Average Crop Revenue Program (ACR) versus payments under the price-based marketing loan benefit and countercyclical payment programs. Using this model, the paper examines the...

A simulated annealing methodology for clusterwise linear regression
DeSarbo, Wayne S.; Oliver, Richard L.; Rangaswamy, Arvind - 1989
In many regression applications, users are often faced with difficulties due to nonlinear relationships, heterogeneous subjects, or time series which are best represented by splines. In such applications, two or more regression functions are often necessary to best summarize the underlying...
