In this paper, we consider a latent Markov process governing the intensity rate of a Poisson process model for software failures. The latent process enables us to infer performance of the debugging operations over time and allows us to deal with the imperfect debugging scenario. We develop the...

In this paper we consider the health utility index mark II for quantifying and describing a population’s health related quality of life over health states composed of multiple attributes. This measure can be used for various purposes such as evaluating the severity of the effect of a disease...

In this paper, we discuss issues that arise in the analysis of call center arrivals that are mostly linked to individual ads. More specifically, we consider the case where there is no complete linkage between the calls and the advertisements that led to the calls. The ability to model and infer...
