Problem definition: Although in-kind donations contribute to charity’s triple bottom line (i.e., generating additional revenue for the charity, contributing to social welfare, and reducing enviro…
Probabilistic constellation shaping has been used in long-haul optically amplified coherent systems for its capability to approach the Shannon limit and realize fine rate granularity. The availabil…
Problem definition: We study a repeated interaction between a manufacturer and a retailer, where the retailer may share with the manufacturer past sales information. In our model, such information …
Distributional data analysis, concerned with the statistical analysis of data objects consisting of random probability distributions in the framework of functional data analysis (FDA), has received…
Problem definition: Consumers often try a few varieties of an experience product before establishing a shopping routine. In retailing, a sample box typically refers to a package of multiple trial-s…
In polarization multiplexing systems, signal and noise have different correlation matrices in the presence of polarization dependent loss (PDL). Therefore, the noise will be correlated after the si…
We consider the problem of monitoring for the existence of serial dependence in real-valued and continuously distributed processes. These can exist when a process goes out-of-control. Besides, as m…
Problem definition: This paper focuses on subscription box services in which a provider selects the assortment of products to include in the box by taking into account the customer’s preferences.…
Over the years, Internet of Things (IoT) devices have become more powerful. This sets forth a unique opportunity to exploit local computing resources to distribute model learning and circumvent the…
Numerical solutions of a nonlinear Schrödinger equation may suffer from the spurious four-wave mixing processes. We study how these nonphysical resonances appear in solutions of a much more stiff …
