There are two general approaches for dealing with the existence of uncertainty in optimization problem: incorporating the uncertainty directly into the optimization
This study discusses the effect of uncertainty on production levels of a petrochemical complex. Uncertainly or variations in some model parameters, such as prices, supply and demand of materials, can affect the optimality or the efficiency of any chemical process. For any petrochemical complex with many plants, there are many sources of uncertainty and frequent variations which require more att...
متن کاملProject Planning: Improved approach incorporating uncertainty
Project planning inevitably involves uncertainty. The basic input parameters for planning (time, cost and resources for each activity) are not deterministic and are affected by various sources of uncertainty. Moreover, there is a causal relationship between these uncertainty sources and project parameters; this causality is ignored in current state-of-the-art project planning techniques (such a...
متن کاملRobustness-based portfolio optimization under epistemic uncertainty
In this paper, we propose formulations and algorithms for robust portfolio optimization under both aleatory uncertainty (i.e., natural variability) and epistemic uncertainty (i.e., imprecise probabilistic information) arising from interval data. Epistemic uncertainty is represented using two approaches: (1) moment bounding approach and (2) likelihood-based approach. This paper first proposes a ...
متن کاملA New DG Allocation Approach Based on Biogeography-Based Optimization with Considering Fuzzy Load Uncertainty
Received May 23, 2015 Revised July 13, 2015 Accepted August 2, 2015 A new distributed generation placement method based on biogeographybased optimization (BBO) is investigated in this paper. A significant novelty of this study lies in considering fuzzy load uncertainty. For this purpose a fuzzy backwardforward sweep load flow is proposed. The main objectives of this study is minimizing power lo...
متن کاملUncertainty in patient set-up margin analysis in radiation therapy
We investigated the uncertainty in patient set-up margin analysis with a small dataset consisting of a limited number of clinical cases over a short time period, and propose a method for determining the optimum set-up margin. Patient set-up errors from 555 registration images of 15 patients with prostate cancer were tested for normality using a quantile-quantile (Q-Q) plot and a Kolmogorov-Smir...
