Estimating exponential scheduling preferences

Scheduling Hemodialysis Patients with Patient Preferences

Nowadays, outpatient providers are struggling to reduce the current costs and improve the service quality. A part of the outpatient service provider is a hemodialysis department with expensive supplies and equipment. Therefore, in the present paper, the scheduling of hemodialysis patients with their preferences has been studied. The aim of scheduling hemodialysis patients in this study is to mi...

Estimating Intertemporal Preferences

In this article, we show how the degree of risk aversion, discounting, and preference for intertemporal substitution for a natural resource manager can be structurally estimated within a recursive utility framework. We focus on the management of a reservoir in California, and test the data for consistency with a recursive utility model specification versus standard time-additive separability. T...

Scheduling with Structured Preferences

The problem of finding a feasible schedule for a partially ordered set of tasks can be formulated as a Disjunctive Temporal Problem (DTP). While there exist extensions to DTPs that augment them by associating numeric costs to the violation of individual temporal constraints, they still make the restrictive assumption that the costs associated with constraints are independent of one another. In ...

Estimating E-Bayesian of Parameters of two parameter Exponential Distribution

‎In this study‎, ‎E-Bayesian of parameters of two parameter exponential distribution under squared error loss function is obtained‎. ‎The estimated and the efficiency of the proposed method has been compared with Bayesian estimator using Monte Carlo simulation‎.
