Spreadsheet modeling and decision analysis
TL;DR: This new edition of Spreadsheet Modeling and Decision Analysis provides instruction in the most commonly used management science techniques and shows how these tools can be implemented using the most current version of Microsoft Excel for Windows.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new approach to solving the multiple traveling salesperson problem using genetic algorithms
TL;DR: This paper proposes a new GA chromosome and related operators for the multiple traveling salesperson problem and compares the theoretical properties and computational performance of the proposed technique to previous work.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combining a neural network with a genetic algorithm for process parameter optimization
TL;DR: The integrated NN–GA system was successful in determining the process parameter values needed under different conditions, and at various stages in the process, to provide the desired level of internal bond.

James R. Brown,Cliff T. Ragsdale +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors illustrate how managers in the hotel industry can analyze and improve their brands' market efficiency using data envelopment analysis (DEA), and evaluate the results of their experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modified differential evolution: a greedy random strategy for genetic recombination
Paul K. Bergey,Cliff T. Ragsdale +1 more
TL;DR: The Modified Differential Evolution (MDE) algorithm utilizes selection pressure to develop offspring that are more fit to survive than those generated from purely random operators and requires less computational effort to locate global optimal solutions to well-known test problems in the continuous domain.
