Bid mark-up selection using artificial neural networks and an entropy metric
(2010)The purpose of the paper is to perform bid mark-up optimisation through the use of artificial neural networks (ANN) and a metric of the selected bid mark-up's derived entropy. The scope is to provide an alternative, ...

A bid-unbalancing method for lowering a contractor's financial risk
(2008)A method is presented for unbalancing bids and optimizing the allocation of overall project profits to individual activities by considering the financial parameters of a project (bid mark-up and projected cash flow), in ...

Capacity of the class of MIMO channels with incomplete CDI - Properties of mutual information for a class of channels
(2009)This paper is concerned with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless channel capacity, when the probability distribution of the channel matrix p(H) is not completely known to the transmitter and the receiver. The ...

Entropy maximization as a holistic design principle for complex optimal networks
(2006)A general holistic theory is presented for the organization of complex networks. The theory proposes that complex networks, both human-engineered and naturally evolved, are organized to meet certain design or survival ...

Entropy-Based Heuristic for Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling
(2016)A heuristic is presented for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP), based on maximizing the entropy of the project's resource histogram. The proposed RCPSP algorithm makes use of the general theory ...

A maximum entropy type test of fit
(2011)In this paper, we propose a test of fit based on maximum entropy. The asymptotic distribution of the proposed test statistic is established and a corrected form for small and medium sample sizes is furnished. The performance ...
