We recently considered the optimal scaling problem of Metropolis algorithms for multidimensional target distributions with non-IID components. The results that were proven have wide applications and the aim of this paper is to show how practitioners can take advantage of them. In particular, we illustrate with several examples the case where the asymptotically optimal acceptance rate is the usu...

In this paper we introduce a new sequential sampling plan based on sequential probability ratio test for fuzzy hypotheses testing. In order to deal with uncertainty happened, the triangular fuzzy number (TFN) is used to express the fuzzy phenomenon of the sampling plan’s parameters. In this plan the acceptable quality level (AQL) and the lot tolerance percent defective (LTPD) are TFN. For such ...

We propose a formal framework to support belief revision based on a cognitive model of credibility and trust. In this framework, the acceptance of information coming from a source depends on (i) the agent’s goals and beliefs about the source’s goals, (ii) the credibility, for the agent, of incoming information, and (iii) the agent’s beliefs about the context in which it operates. This makes it ...

Baloui Jamkhaneh et al. (2008, 2009) have introduced a new acceptance sampling plan. In that plan the fraction of defective items is a fuzzy number. In this paper we introduce the average outgoing quality (AOQ) and average total inspect (ATI) for single sampling plan when that proportion nonconforming items is fuzzy number. We have shown that AOQ and ATI curves of the plan are like band having ...

In this paper, an integrated approach for maintenance and quality control is proposed for a multicomponent system.The model in this paper is based on the selective maintenance policy and a sampling procedure considering the economic design principle for quality control. The objective is to obtain a minimum cost solution with availability, allowable maintenance time and average time to signal as...
