In this paper, we introduce a new sampling plan based on the defective proportion of batch. The proposed sampling plan is based on the distribution function of the proportion defective. A continuous loss function is used to quantify deviations between the proportion defective and its acceptance quality level (AQL).  For practical purpose, a sensitivity analysis is carried out on the different v...

Logistic regression learns a parameterized mapping from feature vectors to probability vectors and is for example central to estimating click rates for ads on web pages. The parameter is found by minimizing the logistic loss. However minimizing any convex loss summed over a set of examples is prone to outliers. We define a versatile method for designing non-convex losses that ameliorate the eff...

Multiple attribute decision making (MADM) methods are very much essential in all fields of engineering, management and other areas where limited alternatives exist and the decision maker has to select the best alternative. Different methods are available in the literature to tackle the MADM problems. The MADM problems are classified as scoring methods, compromising methods and concordance metho...

We consider the problem of estimating a low-rank matrix from noisy observed matrix. Previous work has shown that optimal method depends crucially on choice loss function. In this paper...
