• A grouping genetic algorithm for joint stratification and sample allocation designs 

  O’Luing, Mervyn; Prestwich, Steven D.; Tarim, S. Armagan (Statistics Canada, 2019-12-17)

  Finding the optimal stratification and sample size in univariate and multivariate sample design is hard when the population frame is large. There are alternative ways of modelling and solving this problem, and one of the ...
• Intermittency and obsolescence: A Croston method with linear decay 

  Prestwich, Steven D.; Tarim, S. Armagan; Rossi, Roberto (Elsevier, 2020-11-03)

  Only two forecasting methods have been designed specifically for intermittent demand with possible demand obsolescence: Teunter–Syntetos–Babai (TSB) and Hyperbolic-Exponential Smoothing (HES). When an item becomes obsolete ...
• Computing optimal (R,s,S) policy parameters by a hybrid of branch-and-bound and stochastic dynamic programming 

  Visentin, Andrea; Prestwich, Steven D.; Rossi, Roberto; Tarim, S. Armagan (Elsevier, 2021-01-13)

  A well-known control policy in stochastic inventory control is the policy, in which inventory is raised to an order-up-to-level S at a review instant R whenever it falls below reorder-level s. To date, little or no work ...
• Understanding manager resistance to blockchain systems
