A robust estimation model for surgery durations with temporal, operational, and surgery team effects
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2015-09)
For effective operating room (OR) planning, surgery duration estimation is critical. Overestimation leads to underutilization of expensive hospital resources (e.g., OR time) whereas underestimation leads to overtime and ...
Next-day operating room scheduling with uncertain surgery durations: Exact analysis and heuristics
(Elsevier, 2020-10-01)
Operating rooms are units of particular interest in hospitals as they constitute more than 40% of total expenses and revenues. Managing operating rooms is challenging due to conflicting priorities and preferences of various ...
An extension to the classical mean–variance portfolio optimization model
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-07)
The purpose of this study is to find a portfolio that maximizes the risk-adjusted returns subject to constraints frequently faced during portfolio management by extending the classical Markowitz mean-variance portfolio ...
Delegation vs. control of component procurement under asymmetric cost information and simple contracts
(Informs, 2013)
A manufacturer must choose whether to delegate component procurement to her tier 1 supplier or control it directly. Because of information asymmetry about suppliers’ production costs and the use of simple quantity discount ...
A longitudinal model for song popularity prediction
(SciTePress, 2021)
Usage of new generation music streaming platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music has increased rapidly in the last years. Automatic prediction of a song's popularity is valuable for these firms which in turn translates ...
Single item periodic review inventory control with sales dependent stochastic return flows
(Elsevier, 2023-01)
Retailers have to deal with increasing levels of product returns as the shares of e-commerce sales soars. With this increase, it is no longer feasible to dispatch returned products to outlets or landfills, hence retailers ...
Next-day operating room scheduling with time-dependent stochastic surgery durations
(Springer, 2022)
Operating rooms (ORs) are the most costly part of hospitals, thus a priority for hospital administrations. In this paper, we consider the next-day OR scheduling problem for multiple operating rooms. We assume that surgeries ...
The effect of few historical data on the performance of sample average approximation method for operating room scheduling
(Wiley, 2023-01)
We model the scheduling problem of a single operating room for outpatient surgery, with uncertain case durations and an objective function comprising waiting time, idle time, and overtime costs. This stochastic scheduling ...
Effective training methods for automatic musical genre classification
(SciTePress, 2019)
Musical genres are labels created by human and based on mutual characteristics of songs, which are also called musical features. These features are key indicators for the content of the music. Rather than predictions by ...
