OPTIMIZING A SYSTEM OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS
Chawal, Ukesh; 0000-0002-0858-9492 (2018-05-07)There has been a significant increase in the number of electric vehicles (EVs) mainly because of the need to have a greener living. Thus, ease of access to charging facilities is a prerequisite for large scale deployment ... -
Outcome And State Transition Modeling For Adaptive Interdisciplinary Pain Management
LeBoulluec, Aera KimPain management is a major global health problem. The World Health Organization estimates that, globally, 1 in 5 adults suffer from chronic pain and in the United States alone, chronic pain affects nearly 100 million ... -
Robust Airline Fleet Assignment
Pilla, Venkata (Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2007-08-23)The fleet assignment model allocates the fleet of aircraft types to the scheduled flight legs in the airline timetable published 90 days prior to the departure of the aircraft. The objective is to maximize profit. While ... -
Sequential Frameworks For Statistics-based Value Function Representation In Approximate Dynamic Programming
Fan, Huiyuan (Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2008-09-17)Dynamic programming (DP) was derived by Bellman in 1957 as a mathematical programming method to solve multistage decision problems. The DP concept has great potential, but it only can solve small problems exactly under ... -
SHAPE-BASED TIME SERIES MINING FOR PROCESS MONITORING AND ANOMALY DETECTION
Zhang, Li (2021-09-02)Due to the rapid development of computing and sensing technology, Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled monitoring plays a crucial role for people suffering from cardiac problems. It is important to detect the abnormal ECG ... -
Statistical Modeling Approach To Airline Revenue Management With Overbooking
Siddappa, Sheela (Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2007-08-23)A Revenue Management (RM) method in the airline industry plays a very important role in maximizing revenue under various uncertainty issues, like customer demand, the number of seats to be maintained in inventory, the ... -
Statistics-based Approaches To Stochastic Optimal Control Problems
Wen, Aihong (Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2007-08-23)This dissertation develops practical approaches to stochastic optimal control problems in the absence of linear system transition functions, quadratic cost functions, and/or Gaussian random disturbances. In such type of ... -
TK-MARS: An Efficient Approach for Deterministic and Stochastic Black-Box Optimization
Anahideh, Hadis (2018-08-23)Surrogate optimization approaches for black-box functions focus on approximating the underlying function, using metamodeling techniques, in order to optimize computationally expensive simulation models. Historically, ... -
Topics in Optimization for Sustainable Energy Planning
Nasirian, Bahareh (2023-08-24)**Please note that the full text is embargoed until 8/1/2025** ABSTRACT: Due to the current trend of rising energy demand, finding alternate energy sources is vital. Many cities consider renewable energy as a component of ... -
Using Approximate Dynamic Programming to Control an Electric Vehicle Charging Station System
Chen, Ying (2017-08-11)Dynamic programming (DP) as a mathematical programming approach to optimize a system evolving over time has been applied to solve the multi-stage optimization problems in a lot of areas such as manufacturing systems and ... -
Variants Of Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS): Convex vs. Non-convex, Piecewise-linear vs. Smooth And Sequential Algorithms.
Martinez Cepeda, Diana Luisa (Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2013-10-23)Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) is a statistical modeling method used to represent high-dimensional data with interactions. It uses different algorithms to select the terms to be included in the approximation ...
