Abstract Companies are under increasing pressure from global competition while at the same they need to offer flexible products meet individual customer requirements. Therefore, modularised capital goods designed and manufactured both challenges. This paper presents an approach identify necessary changes in production process summarises automotive aerospace industries due modularisation. Three ...

Abstract In this article, we use a deep quantile estimator, based on neural networks and their universal approximation property to examine non-linear association between the conditional quantiles of dependent variable predictors. This methodology is versatile allows both different penalty functions, as well high dimensional covariates. We present Monte Carlo exercise where finite sample propert...

The Non Timber Forest Products (NTFP) value chains are viewed as an alternative for the forest conservation and for the improvement of life conditions of Traditional Communities. These products are part of different chemical, cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical industries, which are trying to improve the sustainability of their supply chains. For the improvement of interorganizational NTFP networ...

The situation when the number of the students and the popularity of the engineering education in general and IT education in particular is not increasing dramatically due to the fact that there exists an opinion that engineering education is complex and time-consuming from one side and that the graduates are not sufficiently prepared for the industry from another, requires the University to per...

The random forest algorithm under the MapReduce framework has too many redundant and irrelevant features, low training feature information, parallelization efficiency when dealing with multihoming big data network problems, so parallelism is based on information theory, norms proposed for (PRFITN). In this paper, technique used first builds a hybrid dimensional reduction approach (DRIGFN) focus...

A monopoly sells a network good to large population of consumers. We explore how the monopoly's profit and consumer surplus vary with arrival public information about structure. The analysis reveals that, under homogeneous preferences for good, degree assortativity ensures that increases both surplus. In contrast, heterogeneous can create tension between profit.

The rapid rise of social media has brought with it an emphasis on the distinct dimensions of the whole person. Social media recognizes that the individual has a personal network of extensions – a home life, a work life, a social life, a study life, a hobbyist life, and much more – some of these identities even hidden from full view. Each of these online value networks are now accessible by big ...
