The continuity heuristic: Temporal extrapolation in consumer judgment

Journal of Consumer Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract From choosing an established brand over a newcomer to deciding when to replace a product or commit to a subscription, consumers routinely make judgments about how much longer things will last. Across 24 studies (N = 9718), this research introduces and tests the continuity heuristic, an intuitive forecasting strategy in which consumers use how ...

Tandem queues with deterministic service times

, 1994
In this paper we consider a tandem queueing model for a sequence of multiplexers at the edge of an ATM network. All queues of the tandem queueing model have unit service times.

Multi‐Agent Reinforcement Learning for Joint Police Patrol and Dispatch

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Police patrol units need to split their time between performing preventive patrol and being dispatched to serve emergency incidents. In the existing literature, patrol and dispatch decisions are often studied separately. We consider joint optimization of these two decisions to improve police operations efficiency and reduce response time to ...

Sojourn time asymptotics in Processor-Sharing queues [PDF]

, 2006
Over the past few decades, the Processor-Sharing (PS) discipline has attracted a great deal of attention in the queueing literature. While the PS paradigm emerged in the sixties as an idealization of round-robin scheduling in time-shared computer systems,

Information Design for Early‐Stage Dose‐Finding Trials

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To enhance enrollment rates in early‐stage dose‐finding clinical trials, we propose an information design approach, where the clinical investigator (CI) commits to an information releasing mechanism (IRM) based on the treatment's uncertain efficacy and toxicity to encourage patients to participate in the trial.

Stability criteria for controlled queueing networks [PDF]

, 2006
We give criteria for the stability of a very general queueing model under different levels of control. A complete classification of stability (or positive recurrence), transience and null-recurrence is presented for the two queue model. The stability and

Optimizing Household Waste Recycling Centre Network Reorganization in Hampshire

Networks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Local councils across the UK are facing sustained financial pressures, and Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) are being increasingly considered for closure to reduce expenditure. In 2024, Hampshire County Council, which operates the largest HWRC network in the UK, proposed closing either five or twelve existing sites.
