The costing of operating theatre time in a secondary level, state sector hospital: A quantitative observational study
Background: There is no established costing model for operating theatres in South Africa, yet both sectors have existing charges for operating theatre (OT) time: in the state sector, Uniform Patient Fee Schedule (UPFS) rates, and in the private sector, Rands/minute (R/min) rates for OT time. …

Reliability implications of price responsive demand : a study of New England's power system
… by employing a Probabilistic Production Costing model modified to account for price responsive demand. A Neural Gas clustering algorithm is used to deal with the time-varying nature of price responsive demand. We show that neglecting to account for price responsive demand could result in …
