Estimating Demand for Emergency Transportation

Medical Care, 1977
Current and future demands for emergency transportation services are estimated relative to actual and potential use by the population at risk. Correct and incorrect utilization are defined by matching levels of responses (MICU, BEA, Transfer Vehicle, Nonemergency Vehicle, Transport/Private Vehicle) to the level to severity (Life-threat, Urgent, Routine,

Unit substation demand estimator

2006 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems, 2006
This paper describes the design and implementation of a unit substation demand estimator (USDE). The paper presents various methods for the estimation of missing data measurements in a 4kV distribution network. Each method is tested in detail to validate the accuracy of the estimated data and an estimation process strategy is suggested.

On estimating dynamic factor demands

Journal of Applied Econometrics, 1987
AbstractMany recent empirical studies on inter‐related factor demands involve factor demand functions whose arguments depend on the researcher's arbitrary normalization rule. This paper shows how sensitive the estimated elasticities are to the various normalizations that are possible. Alternatives that are not dependent on a normalization are suggested.

Sales Data and the Estimation of Demand

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1976
The differences between sales and demand are discussed. For the newsboy problem the probability distribution of demand is determined from sales data, under the assumption that customers arrive at random. The optimum stock level is shown, in general, to be different from that in the literature.

On the Estimation of Dynamic Demand Functions

The Review of Economics and Statistics, 1972
RECENT years have seen considerable progress toward an integration of the theory of consumer's choice with empirical demand analysis. Theory has been extended so as to bring dynamic adjustment and the effects of past expenditure decisions (primarily through the introduction of certain "state" variables) into its purview,1 while on the empirical side ...

Estimating Money Demand Functions

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, 1984
THE QUESTION OF which functional forms of money demand regression equations are useful for empirical work is addressed here. Specifically, it is argued that a functional form that focuses attention on the ability of the growth rate of nominal money to predict the inflation rate is a useful way of summarizing empirical evidence on the existence of a ...

Estimating Need and Demand for Prehospital Care

Operations Research, 1982
Models estimating demand and need for emergency transportation services are developed. These models can provide reliable estimates which can be used for planning purposes, by complementing and/or substituting for historical data. The model estimating demand requires only four independent variables, population in the area, employment in the area, and ...

Estimating the Market Demand

2021
Forecasts predict what may happen, all other things being equal. Budgets go beyond these forecasts to incorporate the effects of an organization’s planned actions. Both may be Short term—For capacity loading, information transmission, and control Medium term—For the traditional annual planning process Long term—For strategic planning ...

Alcoholism Treatment Demand Estimation

Health Marketing Quarterly, 1989
There is a critical need to accurately determine the alcoholism treatment needs in a particular area so that treatment resources can be effectively allocated. Currently, many state planning agencies determine resource allocation based solely upon the population's utilization of existing treatment facilities.
