A Knowledge Framework for Integrating Multiple Perspective in Decision-Centric Design

Mocko, Gregory Michael - 2006

Problem: Engineering design decisions require the integration of information from multiple and disparate sources. However, this information is often independently created, limited to a single perspective, and not formally represented, thus making it difficult to formulate decisions. Hence, the...

Exponential Smoothing for Forecasting and Bayesian Validation of Computer Models

Wang, Shuchun - 2006

Despite their success and widespread usage in industry and business, ES methods have received little attention from the statistical community. We investigate three types of statistical models that have been found to underpin ES methods. They are ARIMA models, state space models with multiple...
