This paper provides a framework for integrating fuzzy expert systems with discrete event simulation, which will be utilized to enhance the input modeling process in discrete event simulation. Predicting the activity output (i.e. duration) using fuzzy expert systems will provide a new modeling feature to discrete event simulation. In previous studies, fuzzy set theory was mainly utilized to cont...

This paper proposes a totally data-driven duration modeling method for Mandarin TTS, which uses Generalized Linear Models (GLM) to model duration and stepwise regression to automatically select the attribute set with statistical measurements. This method can get a good tradeoff between model complexity and goodness of fit. Besides, speaking rate is introduced as a new modeling attribute, which ...

In this methodological study, we address the joint modeling of longitudinal data on frequency and duration migraine attacks collected from patients in a clinical study which were repeatedly asked at each hospital visit to report number days they had last $30$ corresponding average attacks. our motivating set, outcome is count variable inflated multiples $5$ $10$ days, whereas reported entirely ...
