The failure to detect the presence of the interference can be catastrophic to the performance of the tracking algorithm. The detection of the presence of unresolved Rayleigh targets is considered in the paper. A Neyman-Pearson detection algorithm is developed with density functions that are conditioned on the measured amplitude of the target echoes, which will be shown to define the statistics of each measured monopulse ratio. The algorithm uses both the in-phase and quadrature portions of the monopulse ratios. Receiver operating characteristic curves are given along with simulation results that illustrate the application of the algorithm.","PeriodicalId":135973,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 28th Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129060657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This method introduces a new type of fuzzy system, i.e., a fuzzy interval system. The steps in the method are: first, to utilize all the available linguistic information to obtain a fuzzy interval system and then to use the fuzzy interval system to give the admissible model set (i.e., the set of all models which are acceptable and reasonable from the point of view of linguistic information). Second, to find a model in the admissible model set which best fits the available numerical data. It is shown in the paper that such a model can be obtained by a quadratic programming approach. By comparing this method with the least squares method, it is proved that the model obtained by this method fits a real system better than the model obtained by the least squares method. In addition, this method also checks the adequacy of linear models for modelling a given system during the identification process and can help one to decide whether it is necessary to use nonlinear models.","PeriodicalId":135973,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 28th Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115662378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first simulation model is based on the concept of make-to-stock, an approach in which a company assumes that the finished products in stock can be immediately delivered to the market. The second simulation model considers the same type of electronics manufacturing system, but the products are assumed to be make-to-order based on weekly demand. To meet the fluctuated demand, release time of raw materials and the number of kanbans can be varied to produce the desired number of finished goods. The effects of several system design parameters are studied and the difference between the make-to-stock and make-to-order strategies on the system performance is also examined.","PeriodicalId":135973,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 28th Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115207413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
