Impact of Machine-Failure Costs on Equipment Replacement Policies: Tunneling Company Case Study
(ASCE-AMER SOC CIVIL ENGINEERS, 2012)
For those construction companies engaged in projects where production is controlled by equipment availability, with tunneling as maybe the most extreme example, equipment replacement policies affect not just the cost of a ...
Cost risk benefit analysis to support chemoprophylaxis policy for travellers to malaria endemic countries
(2011-05-17)
Abstract
Background
In a number of malaria endemic regions, tourists and travellers face a declining risk of travel associated malaria, in part due to successful malaria ...

The validity of cost-effectiveness analyses of tight glycemic control. A systematic survey of economic evaluations of pharmacological interventions in patients with type 2 diabetes
(Springer, 2020)
PURPOSE: Currently available randomized trial evidence has shown no reductions in type 2 diabetes (T2D) complications important to patients with tight glycemic control. Yet, economic analyses consistently find tight ...
Rapid diagnosis of tuberculosis with the Xpert MTB/RIF assay in high burden countries: A cost-effectiveness analysis
(Public Library of Science, 2011)
Background: Xpert MTB/RIF (Xpert) is a promising new rapid diagnostic technology for tuberculosis (TB) that has characteristics that suggest large-scale roll-out. However, because the test is expensive, there are concerns ...
The Policy Iteration Algorithm for Average Continuous Control of Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes
(SPRINGER, 2010)
The main goal of this paper is to apply the so-called policy iteration algorithm (PIA) for the long run average continuous control problem of piecewise deterministic Markov processes (PDMP`s) taking values in a general ...
Average control of Markov decision processes with Feller transition probabilities and general action spaces
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCESAN DIEGO, 2013-08-02)
This paper studies the average control problem of discrete-time Markov Decision Processes (MDPs for short) with general state space, Feller transition probabilities, and possibly non-compact control constraint sets A(x). ...
