Admission decisions for loss systems accessed by multiple customer classes are a classical queueing control problem with a wide variety of applications. When a server is available, the decision is ...

ABSTRACT. The linear programming approach to approximate dynamic programming has received considerable attention in the recent network revenue management (RM) literature. A major challenge of the ...

The circumference of a sphere is measured to be 24 cm, with a possible error of 0.25 cm. Use the differential \(dV\) to estimate the maximum error in the calculated ...

When both variables are subject to error, a straight line may be fitted by minimizing the sum of squared distances of the observed points to the line. Approximate distributions of the slope of this ...

The area \(A\) of a square of side length \(s\) is \(A=s^2\text{.}\) Suppose \(s\) increases by an amount \(\Delta s=ds\text{.}\) Draw a square and then illustrate ...

This paper develops a class of models to deal with missing data from longitudinal studies. We assume that separate models for the primary response and missingness (e.g., number of missed visits) are ...
