Robust Optimization and Confidence Interval DEA for Efficiency Evaluation with Intervals Case Study: Evaluating CRM Units in a Call Center in Tehran

Non-Linear Analysis of Asymmetrical Eccentrically Stiffened FGM Cylindrical Shells with Non-Linear Elastic Foundation

In this paper, semi-analytical method for asymmetrical eccentrically stiffened FGM cylindrical shells under external pressure and surrounded by a linear and non-linear elastic foundation is presented. The proposed linear model is based on two parameter elastic foundation Winkler and Pasternak. According to the von Karman nonlinear equations and the classical plate theory of shells, strain-displ...

Monte Carlo Comparison of Approximate Tolerance Intervals for the Poisson Distribution

The problem of finding  tolerance intervals receives very much attention of researchers and are widely used in various statistical fields, including biometry, economics, reliability analysis and quality control. Tolerance interval is a random interval  that covers a specified  proportion of the population with a specified confidence level. In this paper, we compare approximate tolerance interva...

Comparison of Maximum Likelihood Estimation and Bayesian with Generalized Gibbs Sampling for Ordinal Regression Analysis of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome

Background and Objectives: Analysis of ordinal data outcomes could lead to bias estimates and large variance in sparse one. The objective of this study is to compare parameter estimates of an ordinal regression model under maximum likelihood and Bayesian framework with generalized Gibbs sampling. The models were used to analyze ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome data.   Methods: This study use...

NMR Analysis of the interaction of Ethanol with the Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor

Ethanol exerts its actions in the central and peripheral nervous systems through the direct interactions with several proteins, including ligand-gated ion channels such as the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). The binding interaction between ethanol and sodium cholate solubilized nicotinic acetylcholine receptor protein can be detected through either NMR line broadening or T1 titration....
