Rankings and Decisions in Engineering
Author: Fiorenzo Franceschini
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030898652
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
This book focuses on decision-making problems in engineering. It investigates the ranking aggregation problem and the related features, such as input/output data, simplification hypotheses, importance hierarchy of experts. In addition to a well-structured overview of several interesting, consolidated methodological approaches, it presents innovative approaches that can also be applied profitably in other fields. The fascinating selection of topics included is based on research that has been developed in the past twenty years. The descriptions are supported by figures, tables, flowcharts, diagrams, examples and practical case studies. The book is an ideal resource for engineering academics, practitioners, technicians and students, who do not necessarily have an in-depth knowledge of decision-making. It is also a thought-provoking read for engineers and academics looking for innovative ways to improve engineering processes in a variety of fields, such as conceptual design, quality improvement, reliability engineering. “Today, rankings are exercised in all spheres of life, products are ranked on Amazon and similar platforms; services such as restaurants and hotels on platforms such as TripAdvisor; and other services such as lectures or even medical treatment on different specialized platforms. We often make our daily decisions based on these rankings. The quality of our decisions depends on our ability to select appropriate methods to fit the context and needs. We need to be familiar with the theory and practice of these methods to make them useful. To this purpose, this book is an important addition to the bookshelves of academics and professionals, not only from engineering. The connection between theory and practice is weaved throughout the book, making it useful for practitioners also.” Prof. Yoram Reich, Full Professor and Head of Systems Engineering research Initiative at Tel Aviv University (Israel), Editor-in-Chief of “Research in Engineering Design”

Statistical Methods for Ranking Data
Author: Mayer Alvo
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1493914715
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
This book introduces advanced undergraduate, graduate students and practitioners to statistical methods for ranking data. An important aspect of nonparametric statistics is oriented towards the use of ranking data. Rank correlation is defined through the notion of distance functions and the notion of compatibility is introduced to deal with incomplete data. Ranking data are also modeled using a variety of modern tools such as CART, MCMC, EM algorithm and factor analysis. This book deals with statistical methods used for analyzing such data and provides a novel and unifying approach for hypotheses testing. The techniques described in the book are illustrated with examples and the statistical software is provided on the authors’ website.

Rank Correlation Methods
Author: Maurice George Kendall
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 9780195208375
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
The new edition of this classic reference includes a wealth of information on the mathematics and practical applications of rank correlation methods. It represents the most extensive revision since the book first appeared in 1948 and provides clear explanations of the methods of rank correlation widely used by statisticians, educators, psychologists, and others involved in analyzing qualitative material. Among the many topics covered are the Goodman-Kruskal coefficient, partial rank correlation, trend tests, and regression techniques. Real numerical examples and problems are taken from interesting research in the social sciences. Expanded tables have also been added that include larger sample sizes and a table of distribution of Kendall's partial law. Reflecting the vast amount of research published in recent years, this edition updates the references and offers over 300 new bibliographic entries. The valuable appendix tables have been revised and expanded.

Developments in Numerical Ecology
Author: Pierre Legendre
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642708803
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 583
Book Description
From earlier ecological studies it has become apparent that simple univariate or bivariate statistics are often inappropriate, and that multivariate statistical analyses must be applied. Despite several difficulties arising from the application of multivariate methods, community ecology has acquired a mathematical framework, with three consequences: it can develop as an exact science; it can be applied operationally as a computer-assisted science to the solution of environmental problems; and it can exchange information with other disciplines using the language of mathematics. This book comprises the invited lectures, as well as working group reports, on the NATO workshop held in Roscoff (France) to improve the applicability of this new method numerical ecology to specific ecological problems.
