RANDOM MULTIPLICATIVE RESPONSE FUNCTIONS IN GRANULAR CONTACT NETWORKS

MOUKARZEL, CRISTIAN F. - In: Advances in Complex Systems (ACS) 04 (2001) 04, pp. 523-533

functions are described by random multiplicative processes and have a truncated power-law distribution, with a cut-off that … packing becomes hyperstatic, and the abovementioned anomalous properties disappear because Green functions now have a bounded …

Choosing an Empirical Production Function: Theory, Nonnested Hypotheses, Costs of Specifications

Hall, Harry H. - Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Kentucky - 1998

arguments of a production function. Several functions that are consistent with the theory are then evaluated by goodness …-hypothesis tests provide a clear choice among the candidate functions; costs of misspecification provide some choice. …

Investigation of equilibrium in oligopoly markets with the help of tripled fixed points in banach spaces

Ilchev, Atanas; Ivanova, Vanya; Kulina, Hristina; … - In: Econometrics : open access journal 12 (2024) 2, pp. 1-24

response functions rather than payoff maximization. To achieve this, we extend the concept of coupled fixed points to triple … competitors. The task of maximizing the payout functions of the three players is modified by the concept of generalized tripled … fixed points of response functions. The presented model for generalized tripled fixed points of response functions is …

Methods for dependency estimation and system unavailability evaluation based on failure data statistics. Volume 1, Summary report

Azarm, M.A.; Hsu, F.; Martinez-Guridi, G.; Vesely, W.E. - 2008

This report introduces a new perspective on the basic concept of dependent failures where the definition of dependency is based on clustering in failure times of similar components. This perspective has two significant implications: first, it relaxes the conventional assumption that dependent...

Approaches to implementing deterministic models in a probabilistic framework

Talbott, D.V. - 2009

The increasing use of results from probabilistic risk assessments in the decision-making process makes it ever more important to eliminate simplifications in probabilistic models that might lead to conservative results. One area in which conservative simplifications are often made is modeling...

Fatigue reliability of wind turbine fleets: The effect of uncertainty of projected costs

Veers, P.S. - 2010

The cost of repairing or replacing failed components depends on the number and timing of failures. Although the total probability of individual component failure is sometimes interpreted as the percentage of components likely to fail, this perception is often far from correct. Different amounts...

Discussion of the paper ``the use of conditional simulation in nuclear waste site performance assessment,`` by Carol A. Gotway

Gilbert, R.O.; Doctor, P.G. - 2008

First, we applaud Dr. Gotway for seeking via her paper to expose a wider audience of statisticians to the many interesting and challenging modeling and statistical problems in the environmental area. This well-written paper effective explains the WIPP and the context of the analysis. Dr....

Townsend, Richard L.; Skalski, John R. - 2008

The strength of a salmon run is often measured as the adult return rate from some previous brood year (i.e. the percent of a smolt population returning to spawn or captured in fisheries). The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (ACOE) program of barge transportation of smolts from collector dams is one...
