process capability indices show the ability of a process to produce products according to the pre-specified requirements. since final quality characteristics of a product are usually interrelated to its previous amounts in earlier workstations, one need to model and consider the relationship among them to assess the process ca-pability properly. hence, conducting process capability analysis in ...

Ridge regression is a well established method to shrink regression parameters towards zero, thereby securing existence of estimates. The present paper investigates several approaches to combining ridge regression with boosting techniques. In the direct approach the ridge estimator is used to fit iteratively the current residuals yielding an alternative to the usual ridge estimator. In partial b...

A procedure for constructing a vector of regression weights is considered. Under the regression superpopulation model, the ridge regression estimator that has minimum model mean squared error is derived. Through a simulation study, the ridge regression weights, regression weights, quadratic programming weights and raking ratio weights are compared. The ridge regression procedure with weights bo...

This study is about the development of a robust ridge regression estimator. It is based on weighted ridge MM-estimator (WRMM) and is believed to have potentials in remedying the problems of multicollinearity. The proposed method has been compared with several existing estimators, namely ordinary least squares (OLS), robust regression based on MM estimator, ridge regression (RIDGE), weighted rid...

Conformal prediction is a method of producing prediction sets that can be applied on top of a wide range of prediction algorithms. The method has a guaranteed coverage probability under the standard IID assumption regardless of whether the assumptions (often considerably more restrictive) of the underlying algorithm are satisfied. However, for the method to be really useful it is desirable that...
