A Model of Search for a Target Moving among Three Boxes: Some Special Cases
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper considers a sequential search model for a target which moves among three boxes according to a moving structure characterized by a Markov transition matrix known to the searcher. We want to derive the search policy which minimizes the expected number Qf looks needed to detect the target. We shall deal with the model for the perfect detection case only. We derive some general properties Qf this model and obtain optimal policies for models of some paticularly simple moving structure.

Quality Loss Function – A Common Methodology for Three Cases
The quality loss function developed by Genichi Taguchi considers three cases, nominal-thebest, smaller-the-better, and larger-the-better. The methodology used to deal with the larger-thebetter case is slightly different than the other two cases. This research employs a term called target-mean ratio to propose a common formula for all three cases to bring about similarity among them. The target-...

NUMBER 4 A target hides himself in one of the boxes 1,2, ... , m with probability distribution X=<Xl, ... , Xm) and can move to any of other boxes after each unsuccessful search by a searcher. The searcher is not informed of x and continues search until the target is found. He is informed of Ci'S, i.e., examination costs of each box, and ai's, i= 1, ... , m, where ai is the probability of overl...
متن کاملMulti-Objective Economic-Statistical Design of VSSI-MEWMA-DWL Control Chart with Multiple Assignable Causes
This paper proposes a multi-objective model for the economic-statistical design of the variable sample size and sampling interval multivariate exponentially weighted moving average control chart by using double warning lines. The Markov chain approach is used to obtain the statistical properties. We extend the Lorenzen and Vance cost function considering multiple assignable causes and multivari...
متن کاملAn investigation of model selection criteria for technical analysis of moving average
Moving averages are one of the most popular and easy-to-use tools available to a technical analyst, and they also form the building blocks for many other technical indicators and overlays. Building a moving average (MA) model needs determining four factors of (1) approach of issuing signals, (2) technique of calculating MA, (3) length of MA, and (4) band. After a literature re...
متن کاملSize-Dependent Forced Vibration Analysis of Three Nonlocal Strain Gradient Beam Models with Surface Effects Subjected to Moving Harmonic Loads
The forced vibration behaviors are examined for nonlocal strain gradient nanobeams with surface effects subjected to a moving harmonic load travelling with a constant velocity in terms of three beam models namely, the Euler-Bernoulli, Timoshenko and modified Timoshenko beam models. The modification for nonlocal strain gradient Timoshenko nanobeams is exerted to the constitutive equations by exc...
