Quality Loss Functions for Nonnegative Variables and Their Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
Loss functions play a fundamental role in every quality engineering method. A new set of loss functions is proposed based on Taguchi’s societal loss concept. Its applications to robust parameter design are discussed in detail. The loss functions are shown to posses some interesting properties and lead to theoretical results that cannot be handled with other loss functions.

A Quartic Quality Loss Function and Its Properties
We propose a quartic function to represent a family of continuous quality loss functions. Depending on the choice of its parameters the shape of this function within the specification limits can be either symmetric or asymmetric, and it can be either similar to the ubiquitous quadratic loss function or somewhat closer to the conventional step function. We examine this family of loss functions i...

متن کاملModeling Nonnegative Data with Clumping at Zero: A Survey
Applications in which data take nonnegative values but have a substantial proportion of values at zero occur in many disciplines. The modeling of such “clumped-at-zero” or “zero-inflated” data is challenging. We survey models that have been proposed. We consider cases in which the response for the non-zero observations is continuous and in which it is discrete. For the continuous and then the d...

Let be a sequence of weakly negative dependent (denoted by, WND) random variables with common distribution function F and let be other sequence of positive random variables independent of and for some and for all .

متن کاملSingular values of convex functions of matrices
Let $A_{i},B_{i},X_{i},i=1,dots,m,$ be $n$-by-$n$ matrices such that $sum_{i=1}^{m}leftvert A_{i}rightvert ^{2}$ and $sum_{i=1}^{m}leftvert B_{i}rightvert ^{2}$ are nonzero matrices and each $X_{i}$ is positive semidefinite. It is shown that if $f$ is a nonnegative increasing convex function on $left[ 0,infty right) $ satisfying $fleft( 0right) =0 $, then $$2s_{j}left( fleft( fra...
