Abstract
Cost effectiveness is one of the important issues for developing products in a life cycle. And review is a key activity that can detect defects from the early stage and fix them. This paper provides Value-based review techniques adding cost effectiveness into review processes and reports on an experiment on Value-based review. Through the experiment, the Value-based review is shown to have higher cost effectiveness in review processes.

Gaussian processes for missing value imputation
AbstractA missing value indicates that a particular attribute of an instance of a learning problem is not recorded. They are very common in many real-life datasets. In spite of this, however, most machine learning methods cannot handle missing values. ...
Highlights- A novel approach based on chained GPs, named MGP, is introduced for imputing missing values.
- The method outputs a predictive distribution for each missing value in the dataset.
- The final model can be trained simultaneously and can ...
Cost-effective ordering policies for inventory systems with emergency order
Most of the studies on inventory control reported in earlier contributions deal with the optimization problems minimizing an expected cost criterion such as the long-run average cost. However, when the plant engineers design the inventory systems in ...
