This paper proposes and investigates the use of embedding sensors in products when designing and manufacturing them to improve the efficiency during their end-of-life (EOL) processing. First, separate design of experiments studies based on orthogonal arrays are carried out for conventional...

We show that adding replications in replicated difference test results in larger power and smaller variance when the number of assessors is fixed. On the other hand, when the number of total assessments is fixed, the power usually decreases and the variability increases whenever replications are...

We propose a standardized partition space (SPS) that offers a unifying framework for the comparison of a wide variety of classification rules. Using SPS, one can define measures for the performance of classifiers w.r.t. goodness concepts beyond the expected rate of correct classifications of the...
