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 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 ...

A study is performed of McCool's method for constructing linear estimates from order statistics when the coefficients of a linear estimate for a smaller sample size are available. The efficiency of ...

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 ...
