This research proposes a new ranking system for extreme efficient DMUs (Decision Making Units) based upon the omission of these efficient DMUs from reference set of the inefficient DMUs. We state and… (More)
This article reviews fish consumption data, mercury tolerable intake values, and mercury (Hg) content in fish, based on several reports from the Food and Agriculture Organization and European Union.… (More)
Designed experiments are powerful ways to gain insights into the behavior of complex simulation models. In recent years, many new designs have been created to address the large number of factors and… (More)
Analysts using simulation models often must assess a large number of alternatives in order to determine which are most effective. If effectiveness corresponds to the likelihood of yielding the best… (More)
The purpose of this paper is to present a study of two Multinomial Selection Problem (MSP) procedures: BEM and AVC. This work focuses on MSP applied to Simulation Optimization problems. MSP is… (More)
Mercury (Hg) concentration in human hair is used to estimate methylmercury (MeHg) exposure and establish a reference dose for MeHg intake. In this study, Hg accumulation and MeHg intake were… (More)
We propose an improvement in the random search algorithm called COMPASS to allow it to deal with a single stochastic constraint.
Our algorithm builds on two ideas: (a) a novel simulation allocation… (More)
