Self-Selecting Priority Queues with Burr Distributed Waiting Costs
Service providers, in the presence of congestion and heterogeneity of customer waiting costs, often introduce a fee-based premier option using which the customers selfsegment themselves. Examples of this practice are found in health care (concierge medicine), amusement parks, government (consular services), and transportation. Using a single-server queuing system with customer waiting costs mod...
متن کاملΦ - Divergences , Sufficiency , Bayes Sufficiency , and Deficiency
The paper studies the relations between φ-divergences and fundamental concepts of decision theory such as sufficiency, Bayes sufficiency, and LeCam’s deficiency. A new and considerably simplified approach is given to the spectral representation of φ-divergences already established in Österreicher and Feldman [28] under restrictive conditions and in Liese and Vajda [22], [23] in the general form...
متن کاملComputing Efficiency, Sufficiency, and Self-sufficiency: A Model for Sustainability?
Computing is an activity that is based on natural resources like any other human activity. Technological progress has made it possible to perform more and more computations with less material and energy input. This paper looks at this development through the lens of the three concepts of efficiency, sufficiency, and self-sufficiency, asking the question of whether it could lead to a state of se...
متن کاملProbabilistic Sufficiency and Algorithmic Sufficiency from the point of view of Information Theory
Given the importance of Markov chains in information theory, the definition of conditional probability for these random processes can also be defined in terms of mutual information. In this paper, the relationship between the concept of sufficiency and Markov chains from the perspective of information theory and the relationship between probabilistic sufficiency and algorithmic sufficien...
متن کاملKnowing but not doing: selecting priority conservation areas and the research-implementation gap.
Conservation assessment is a rapidly evolving discipline whose stated goal is the design of networks of protected areas that represent and ensure the persistence of nature (i.e., species, habitats, and environmental processes) by separating priority areas from the activities that degrade or destroy them. Nevertheless, despite a burgeoning scientific literature that ever refines these techniques...
