In practice, managers often have some partial information about the demand distribution in addition to demand observations.
Recognizing this, data-driven approaches have been proposed in which the manager has no information beyond the evolving history of demand observations.
This paper uses minute-by-minute British electricity demand observations to evaluate methods for prediction between 10 and 30 minutes ahead.
We consider a repeated newsvendor setting, and propose a maximum-entropy based technique, termed Second Order Belief Maximum Entropy (SOBME), which allows the manager to effectively combine demand observations with distributional information in the form of bounds on the moments or tails.
"Design demands observation," Mr. Castiglioni would explain, Ms. Antonelli said, as though there was easily a life's work in seeing, in the commonplace, what others couldn't.
In its final report on short-acting insulin analogues, the Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care demands observation of long-term effects to evaluate benefit and harm [ 33].
The average MAF is higher for PW (the commercial boar line used in the discovery panel), probably due to the criteria used for SNP selection, which demanded observation of the minor allele in a minimum of three sequences.
Astronomers' primary planet-hunting technique--examining the spectrum of starlight for signs of changes in the star's motion caused by an orbiting planet--requires such demanding observations that it works only for planets around sunlike stars that happen to lie within a few hundred light-years of the solar system.
But a fusion infusion calls as Sierra's soprano thrills us with those old, best ecstasies, while Bianca growl-raps the child's -- every child's -- difficulties, demands, observations, agonies: what is seen as contrivance in the aesthetics of CocoRosie is a projection onto these artists of a brutal rupture our culture has, in fact, contrived.
This would improve welfare of sows, without an increase in piglet mortality and without extra labour demand for observation.
In response to such demand, an "Observation and Research Program for the Prediction of Earthquakes and Volcanic Eruptions (Fiscal 2009 2013)" was initiated in 2009 (Hirata, 2009; see Mogi (1986) and Hirata (2004) for foregoing national programs for earthquake prediction research).
