Statistics is a relatively new discipline in Latin America. At present only sparse information is available about the state of the statistical profession in Latin America. We present and summarize the available information about the job market; training, education, and research; professional societies and their activities; and so forth. We also share our hopes, concerns, and suggestions for the future. 相似文献

We study the optimal flow control for a manufacturing system subject to random failures and repairs. In most previous work, it has been proved that, for constant demand rates and exponential failure and repair times distributions of machines, the hedging point policy is optimal. The aim of this study is to extend the hedging point policy to non-exponential failure and repair times distributions and random demand rates models. The performance measure is the cost related to the inventory and back order penalties. We find that the structure of the hedging point policy can be parametrized by a single factor representing the critical stock level or threshold. With the corresponding hedging point policy, simulation experiments are used to construct input-output data from which an estimation of the incurred cost function is obtained through a regression analysis. The best parameter value of the related hedging point policy is derived from a minimum search of the obtained cost function. The extended hedging point policy is validated and shown to be quite effective. We find that the hedging point policy is also applicable to a wide variety of complex problems (i.e. non-exponential failure and repair times distributions and random demand rates), where analytical solutions may not be easily obtained. 相似文献

The quadratic dose–response model is often used in radiobiology studies. Since the model is nonlinear, the least squares estimators of the parameters of the model are determined by an iterative procedure. We give a simple closed form approximation for estimating the parameters of the model. 相似文献

University first-year students grades are naturally correlated with the scores obtained at placement tests. Often this characteristic leads the university grades in the first exams to be asymmetrically distributed. Motivated by the analysis of grades of the basic Statistics examination of first-year students, we discuss informative priors for the shape parameter of the skew-normal model, a class of distribution which account for several degree of asymmetry. Our proposed prior leads to closed-form full-conditional posterior distributions, particularly useful in Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation. A Gibbs sampling algorithm is discussed for the joint vector of parameters and the method is applied to a real data set from the School of Economics, University of Padua, Italy. Our analysis reveals that the correlation between the placement test and the grades of first-year students leads to a measurable positive skewness of the distribution of the university grades. 相似文献

Natural adversity elicits public policy reactions in accordance with its negative impact; aid actions are expectedly seen as altruistically driven. This article is based on interviews with experts from NGOs and public emergency response agencies. It debates the paradoxical potentialities that may arise in post‐disaster situations. Topics discussed include: factors surpassing altruism, mass media as a solidarity regulator tool, conflicts between what is understood internationally and what may, in fact, be adopted at the local level, and strategies to internalise resources. Conclusions recognise potentialities as concrete assets for policy makers, but suggest we do not yet possess the ability to strategically identify them as unique and positive opportunities. 相似文献
