Food products are a critical part of everyday life. These products have different types, like perishable, livestock, etc. To increase the efficiency of the food supply chain, designing a comprehensive mathematical model that considers all crucial aspects of the chain is necessary. Therefore,...

The present study initiates the use of repetitive sampling (RS) for CUSUM type statistics discussed by Riaz et al. (2017) and couples it with the Shewhart chart (termed as RS-SEC-TCC) by targeting two objectives, i.e. robustness to non-normality and detection of small to large mean shifts...

Edge computing brings computing and storage resources close to end-users to support new applications and services that require low network latency. Examples of such applications include augmented reality, connected cars, gaming and video analytics. The latency of accessing such applications must...

We study the robustness of cheap-talk equilibria to infinitesimal private information of the receiver in a model with a binary state-space and state-independent sender-preferences. We show that the sender-optimal equilibrium is robust if and only if this equilibrium either reveals no information...

Conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA) models cannot deal with negative and uncertain values. Accordingly, the main objective of current study is to present a novel robust data envelopment analysis (RDEA) approach that is capable to be used in the presence of negative values and uncertain...
