Airline scheduling and pricing using a genetic algorithmAlan Walker
Some of my earlier research work on "clean sheet" scheduling for airlines. AIrline timetables are generally created by hand, and then mathematical models are used to optimize and tweak them. This was the first published work in the industry for diong the whole process in one system. Combines a number of different airline operations research models into a single framework.
When the AA / Sabre Research Group was created, one of the goals was a clean-sheet scheduling system. Bob Crandall told my boss that there no way it could be done for even three aircraft - so this is what I built.
Lazy Join Optimizations Without Upfront Statistics with Matteo InterlandiDatabricks
Modern Data-Intensive Scalable Computing (DISC) systems such as Apache Spark do not support sophisticated cost-based query optimizers because they are specifically designed to process data that resides in external storage systems (e.g. HDFS), or they lack the necessary data statistics. Consequently, many crucial optimizations, such as join order and plan selection, are presently out-of-scope in these DISC system optimizers. Yet, join order is one of the most important decisions a cost-optimizer can make because wrong orders can result in a query response time that can become more than an order-of-magnitude slower compared to the better order.

Prediction-based Model Selection in PLS-PMGalit Shmueli
The document presents a study comparing various in-sample model selection criteria to out-of-sample criteria in predicting outcomes using partial least squares path modeling (PLS-PM). The study finds that information theoretic criteria like AIC, BIC, and HQ agree best with the gold standard RMSE criterion, correctly selecting predictive yet parsimonious models. Agreement rates decrease with larger sample sizes, where holdout samples are less critical. Information criteria outperform PLS criteria like R2 and Q2 at predictive model selection in PLS-PM.

The Six Sigma project aimed to minimize losses during the delivery of aviation turbine fuel (ATF) from a refinery to IOC Sahar. Key causes of losses were identified as a lack of consistency in measurements at IOC Sahar, lack of communication around final receipt figures, and no independent monitoring of transfers. Proposed solutions included deploying a surveyor to monitor transfers, standardizing measurement procedures, and displacing line contents to reduce losses. These solutions were evaluated based on ease of implementation, complexity, and cost to select the optimal approach.

Green NCAP is a new consumer program that rates vehicles on their environmental performance. It aims to provide ratings to help consumers choose greener vehicles and stimulate manufacturers to improve environmental credentials. Vehicles are tested using various driving cycles in the lab and on the road to evaluate pollutant emissions, energy efficiency, and other factors. Ratings are on a 0-5 star scale across two indices for clean air and energy efficiency. The inaugural tests showed improvements from Euro 6d vehicles but limitations in fully assessing battery electric vehicles.
This document provides configuration steps for setting up excise tax functionality for India in an SAP system. It includes instructions for:
1. Maintaining basic excise tax settings like registrations, company codes, plants, excise groups, series groups, duty indicators, and addresses.
2. Selecting the tax calculation procedure for India and maintaining related defaults.
3. Defining tax codes for purchasing documents and assigning them to company codes for condition-based excise determination.
4. Classifying condition types used for different taxes in the tax determination process.
5. Specifying general ledger accounts for recording various taxes.
The document provides a guide to all the necessary configuration activities needed
This document discusses advanced process control techniques that can be applied in pharmaceutical manufacturing. It begins by defining basic process control concepts. Then it discusses the benefits of advanced process control, such as improved quality, increased production, and reduced costs. Several advanced control techniques are described, including model predictive control, Kalman filters, neural networks, and linear programming optimization. The document argues that techniques used successfully in other industries can be adapted for pharmaceutical applications to further improve process performance and product quality.
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) Program Overview Zentiz
The document provides an overview of California's On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) program, which requires all vehicles sold in the state to have an on-board computer that monitors components related to vehicle emissions. OBD systems detect malfunctions that could increase emissions and alert the driver with a malfunction indicator light. The program helps ensure vehicles remain clean over their lifetime and enables effective smog check inspections. Key aspects of the OBD program include comprehensive monitoring requirements, standardization of diagnostic information, certification of vehicle OBD systems, and enforcement through in-use testing.

Is it possible to have more observations in a
sample?
Is there any other factors, which influence the
consumer choice making, that are not
included in the original survey?
Is this analysis too general? Should we break
down into several groups, ex. used cars vs
new cars, SUV vs sedan?

Editor's Notes
Data Transform
The exploratory data analysis suggests a model that is adequate for fitting the data. Check from the correlation graph (See in Appendix A), the data show the linear relationship; thus, data transform is not necessary in this case.
Maximum r squared selection, obviously, we ought to look for the biggest R squared model. However, we still take the parameter P-Value into account. We thus get the regression model.
In step 9, with the R squared increases, all the P-Value of parameters are significant but if we include 9 independent variables, predictors start to be not significant. In the 9 dependent variable model, the OREL1’ P- Value is 0.2 which is not significant.
Stepwise selection is pretty easy for model builders because this selection method give us a summary as the PowerPoint shows.
Smallest AIC, and 1331.2492 is the smallest AIC.
So we find out the variables in model.
