Dynamic Retail Location Model with Market Learning
In this thesis, we study the optimal store location decisions for a firm entering a new market where the market adoption rate can be learned over time. In the presence of market learning, the firm faces a trade-off between active learning and deferred commitment. To illustrate this trade-off , we …

Robust Cross-dock Location Model Accounting for Demand Uncertainty
… of this thesis was to develop optimization models to locate cross-docks in supply chain networks. Cross-docks are a type of intermediate facility which aid in the consolidation of shipments, in which the goods spend little or no time in storage. Instead, the goods are quickly and efficiently …

A Combined Inventory-Location Model for Distribution Network Design
… in distribution system design involve facility location and inventory policy determination. Facility location analyzes questions such as how many facilities should be opened, where they should be located, and which customers should be assigned to which DCs. Inventory policy determination …

Materials Recovery Facilities in the United States Virgin Islands: A Regional Facilities Location Model Study
… with a regional approach to facilities location and management planning. Centralized solid waste processing facilities is an example. Island communities, however, surrounded by miles of ocean, are constrained to a fragmented approach to the facilities location solution. This research was …

Stakeholders’ perception towards sustainable business locations of purpose-built office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
… added new dimensions to the complexity in the location evaluation of PBO. Nevertheless, there is a lack of research in this country that studied the sustainable business locations of PBO based on the stakeholders’ perceptions. Therefore, this thesis aimed to develop a sustainable business …

Statistical inference for dependent data
… been placed on independent functional data or models where the covariates and errors are assumed to be independent. However, the independence assumption is often too strong to be realistic in many application especially if the data are collected sequentially over time such as climate data and …

Augmenting Indiana's Groundwater Level Monitoring Network: Optimal Siting of Additional Wells to Address Spatial and Categorical Sampling Gaps
… objectives are integrated in a discrete facility location model known as the p-median problem, and solved to optimality using a mathematical programming package.

Site Location Modeling and Prehistoric Rock Shelter Selection on the Upper Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee
… (UCP), Pogue Creek Gorge and East Obey, a site location model was developed for prehistoric rock shelter occupation in the region. Further, the UCP model was used to explore factors related to differential site selection of rock shelters. Different from traditional approaches such as those that …

Robust Testing for Unit Roots Based on Regression Rank Scores
… statistical procedure for testing unit root models, based on regression-rank scores (RRS) introduced by Gutenbrunner and Jureckova (1990). These RRS arise as a vector of solutions of the dual form of the linear program required to compute the regression quantile statistics of Koenker and …

Design and analysis for a two level factorial experiment in the presence of dispersion effects
… methodology experimental designs for estimating location models involve the assumption of homogeneous variance throughout the design region. However, with heterogeneity of variance these standard designs are not optimal. Using the D and Q-optimality criteria, this dissertation proposes a …

Reliable facility location design and traffic sensor deployment under probabilistic disruptions
… system benefit depend on the choices of facility locations. A good location design can maximize the system benefit while saving as much infrastructure investment as possible. Due to natural disasters or human hazards (e.g., power outages, operational accidents, labor actions or terrorist attacks), …

Charging facility allocation in smart cities
… EVs by developing: 1) an extended Flow Refueling Location model which finds optimal locations for charging stations as well as dynamic wireless charging pads, and 2) a 2-stage planning process for placement of charging station. The first stage of the planning process is to determine the optimal …

Optimal location of cross-docking centers for a distribution network in Argentina
… products have to be distributed to hundreds of locations in the interior of the country. These locations have lower levels of demand and are at great distance from Buenos Aires. In order to achieve efficient distribution, cross docking centers and a third party carrier distribution are utilized. …

Detection of sparse mixtures: fundamental limits and algorithms
… test. We illustrate our theory on the Gaussian location model, where the noise distribution is standard Gaussian and the signal distribution is a Gaussian with unit variance and positive mean. This thesis also contributes to the field of adaptive test design. We show that when the signal and …

A Carbon-Conscious Closed-Loop Bi-Objective p-hub Location Problem
… explicitly. Moreover, the traditional CCT model discourages investment in greener technologies by favoring established logistics over eco-friendly alternatives. This research tackles the sustainable CLSC problem by proposing a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) carbon-conscious …

Statistical methods for random rotations
… in statistics. Though the rotationally symmetric location model for orientation data is simple, statistical methods for estimation and inference for the location parameter, S are limited. In this dissertation we develop point estimation and confidence region methods for the central …

Improving Post-Disaster Recovery: Decision Support for Debris Disposal Operations
… which is the topic of Chapter 3, a facility location model is developed for addressing the problem of opening temporary disposal and storage reduction facilities, which are needed to ensure efficient and effective cleanup operations. In the second project, which is the topic of Chapter 4, a …

An Integrated Optimization Model for Distribution Center Location with Considerations of Population and Income
… decision making tool to find the best possible location of distribution centers. The original optimization method is modified to generate a new method which takes into consideration certain factors which were not present in the original formulation.Two levels of distribution center location have …

Wavelet Thresholding for Non (Necessarily) Gaussian Noise
… estimation. <br>In the literature, two main models are present. In the first model, <br>the target functions are members of some smoothness class and for this class <br>the minimax properties of estimators are investigated. This approach is <br>facilitated by the fact that some smoothness …
