Optimization models and methods under nonstationary uncertainty

This research focuses on finding the optimal maintenance policy for an item with varying failure behavior. We analyze several types of item failure rates and develop methods to solve for optimal maintenance schedules. We also illustrate nonparametric modeling techniques for failure rates, and utiliz...
