In this research, we propose a bi-objective model for the economic-statistical design of the X-bar and S control charts. The model minimizes out-of-control average time to signal as well as minimizing mean hourly loss-cost where it incorporates the Taguchi loss function. Statistical constraint is considered in the model to achieve desired in-control time to signal. A non-dominated sort...

abstract background: keratoconus is a bilateral corneal disease, which one way to cure it is to transplant. the transplantation may be rejected by recipient's immune system, which leads to failure of the graft. this study aimed to analysis the factors affecting bilateral corneal graft rejection based on copula function. methods: a sample of bilateral graft rejection times was assessed. since co...

The quality of an architectural design of a software system has a great influence on achieving non-functional requirements of a system. A regular software development project is often influenced by non-functional factors such as the customers' expectations about the performance and reliability of the software as well as the reduction of underlying risks. The evaluation of non-functional paramet...

to evaluate and predict component-based software security, a two-dimensional model of software security is proposed by stochastic petri net in this paper. in this approach, the software security is modeled by graphical presentation ability of petri nets, and the quantitative prediction is provided by the evaluation capability of stochastic petri net and the computing power of markov chain. each...

In this study we model the daily rainfall occurrence using Markov Chain Analogue Yearmodel (MCAYM) and the intensity or amount of daily rainfall using three different probability distributions; gamma, exponential and mixed exponential distributions. Combining the occurrence and intensity model we obtain Markov Chain Analogue Year gamma model (MCAYGM), Markov Chain Analogue Year exponentia...
