A customer based supplier selection process that combines quality function deployment, the analytic network process and a Markov chain

MR Asadabadi - European Journal of Operational Research, 2017 - Elsevier
The overall objective of this paper is to introduce a customer oriented supplier selection
method. Although the supplier selection problem has previously been investigated, an …

[HTML][HTML] Smoothed model checking for uncertain continuous-time Markov chains

L Bortolussi, D Milios, G Sanguinetti - Information and Computation, 2016 - Elsevier
We consider the problem of computing the satisfaction probability of a formula for stochastic
models with parametric uncertainty. We show that this satisfaction probability is a smooth …

Discrete time Markov chains with interval probabilities

D Škulj - International journal of approximate reasoning, 2009 - Elsevier
The parameters of Markov chain models are often not known precisely. Instead of ignoring
this problem, a better way to cope with it is to incorporate the imprecision into the models …

Genetic algorithms for condition-based maintenance optimization under uncertainty

M Compare, F Martini, E Zio - European journal of operational research, 2015 - Elsevier
This paper proposes and compares different techniques for maintenance optimization based
on Genetic Algorithms (GAs), when the parameters of the maintenance model are affected …

An extension of universal generating function in multi-state systems considering epistemic uncertainties

S Destercke, M Sallak - IEEE Transactions on reliability, 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Many practical methods and different approaches have been proposed to assess Multi-State
Systems (MSS) reliability measures. The universal generating function (UGF) method …

[HTML][HTML] Imprecise stochastic processes in discrete time: global models, imprecise Markov chains, and ergodic theorems

G De Cooman, J De Bock, S Lopatatzidis - International Journal of …, 2016 - Elsevier
We justify and discuss expressions for joint lower and upper expectations in imprecise
probability trees, in terms of the sub-and supermartingales that can be associated with such …

A multistate modeling approach for organizational cybersecurity exploration and exploitation

A Zadeh, A Jeyaraj - Decision Support Systems, 2022 - Elsevier
This study examines the dynamic stages of exploration and exploitation efforts by
organizations in their cybersecurity responses using multistate modeling. Using textual data …

Randomness is inherently imprecise

G De Cooman, J De Bock - International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, 2022 - Elsevier
We use the martingale-theoretic approach of game-theoretic probability to incorporate
imprecision into the study of randomness. In particular, we define several notions of …

[PDF][PDF] Imprecise probability.

FPA Coolen, MCM Troffaes, T Augustin - 2011 - academia.edu
Quantification of uncertainty is mostly done by the use of precise probabilities: for each event
A, a single (classical, precise) probability P (A) is used, typically satisfying Kolmogorov's …

Data uncertainty in Markov chains: Application to cost-effectiveness analyses of medical innovations

J Goh, M Bayati, SA Zenios, S Singh… - Operations …, 2018 - pubsonline.informs.org
Cost-effectiveness studies of medical innovations often suffer from data inadequacy. When
Markov chains are used as a modeling framework for such studies, this data inadequacy can …
