The role of competitive forces in integrated resource planning

Kahn, E.; Goldman, C. - 2008

In this report, we study the potential for competitive forces to enhance the efficiency of integrated resource planning and produce consumer cost reductions. We examine the efficiency gains from competition in the private power market, and ask whether similar forces can be successful on the...

Design of Complex Systems in the presence of Large Uncertainties: a statistical approach

Koutsourelakis, P - 2008

reformulated with respect to statistical properties of these objectives functions (e.g. probability of exceeding certain thresholds … performance statistics with respect to the design variables. For that purpose we explore parametric and non-parametric (kernel …. For that purpose the present paper advocates a framework that allows for calculating the values of response statistics …

Power to detect normal mixtures: Simulation results

Thode, H.C. Jr. - 2008

Twenty tests for normality were compared for the purpose of detecting mixtures of two normal components with unequal means but equal variance. The purpose of this study was to determine the power of tests specifically designed to detect mixtures, i.e., the likelihood ratio and Engelman-Hartigan...
