in this paper, analysis and simulation of media gateway controller (megaco) based cops (common open policy server) which is a protocol defined in ietf (internet engineering task force) to transport configuration requests and deliver the policies is presented. for this scenario, three queuing models include m/m/1, m/m/c and m/d/c were applied . then, some of the key performance benchmarks look l...

Stochastic behavior of stock returns is very important for investors and policy makers in the stock market. In this paper, the stochastic behavior of the return index of Tehran Stock Exchange (TEDPIX) is examined using unobserved component Markov switching model (UC-MS) for the 3/27/2010 until 8/3/2015 period. In this model, stock returns are decomposed into two components; a permanent componen...

Due to the effective role of Markov models in customer relationship management (CRM), there is a lack of comprehensive literature review which contains all related literatures. In this paper the focus is on academic databases to find all the articles that had been published in 2011 and earlier. One hundred articles were identified and reviewed to find direct relevance for applying Markov models...

in this paper, different input-oriented ratio-based dea (dea-r-i) models are proposed. by presenting the envelopment-additive-enhanced russell model based on the dea-r-i form, each decision making unit is evaluated and its efficiency score is calculated. also, by presenting the central resource allocation model based on the dea-r-i form, a suitable benchmark for all dmus is proposed by solving ...

H igh price volatility and the risk are the main features of commodity markets. One way to reduce this risk is to apply the hedging policy by future contracts. In this regard, in this paper, we will calculate the optimal hedging ratios for OPEC oil. In this study, besides the multivariate GARCH models, for the first time we use conditional copula models for modelling dependence struc...
