Hazard function plays an important role in reliability and survival analysis. In some real life applications, abrupt changes in the hazard function may be observed and it is of interest to detect the location and the size of the change. Hazard models with a change-point are considered when the...

In this work, we investigate two groundwater inventory management schemes with multiple users in a dynamic game-theoretic structure: (i) under the centralized management scheme, users are allowed to pump water from a common aquifer with the supervision of a social planner, and (ii) under the...

In this work the uncapacitated dynamic lot-sizing problem is considered. Demands are deterministic and production costs consist of convex costs that arise from economic production functions plus set-up costs. We formulate the problem as a mixed integer, non-linear programming problem and obtain...

We consider a one-warehouse N retailers supply chain with stochastic demand. Inventory is managed in-house whereas transportation is outsourced to a 3PL provider. We develop analytical expressions for the operating characteristics under both periodic and continuous joint replenishment policies....

We consider dynamic pricing of perishable assets in the presence of price-sensitive renewal demand processes. Unlike the existing works in the literature, we explicitly incorporate non-negligible price change costs which reflects the revenue management practice more realistically. These costs...

In this study, we analyze an inventory system facing stochastic external demands and an autonomous supply (independent return flow) in the presence of fixed disposal costs and positive lead times under a continuous review replenishment-disposal policy. We derive the analytical expressions of the...

We consider a retailer selling a fixed inventory of two perishable products over a finite horizon. Assuming Poisson arrivals and a bivariate reservation price distribution, we determine the optimal product and bundle prices that maximize the expected revenue. Our results indicate that the...

Suppose that we observe bivariate data (Xi, Yi) only when Yi [less-than-or-equals, slant] Xi (left truncation). Denote with F the marginal d.f. of the X's. In this paper we derive a Bahadur-type representation for the quantile function of the pertaining product-limit estimator of F. As an...

In this study bivariate kernel density estimators are considered when a component is subject to random truncation. In bivariate truncation models one observes the i.i.d. samples from the triplets (T, Y, X) only if T[less-than-or-equals, slant]Y. In this set-up, Y is said to be left...
