Prediction Intervals

Prediction Intervals

The interval estimate of any variable is known as the prediction interval. It helps decide if a point estimate is dependable.
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.

Predicting Products: Substitution vs. Elimination

Predicting Products: Substitution vs. Elimination

When a nucleophile and an alkyl halide react, nucleophilic substitution and β-elimination reactions compete to generate products.
The following factors can influence the mechanisms competing against each other:

Steps in Outbreak Investigation

Steps in Outbreak Investigation

In the ever-evolving field of public health, statistical analysis serves as a cornerstone for understanding and managing disease outbreaks. By leveraging various statistical tools, health professionals can predict potential outbreaks, analyze ongoing situations, and devise effective responses to mitigate impact. For that to happen, there are a few possible stages of the analysis:

Predicting Reaction Outcomes

Predicting Reaction Outcomes

Kinetics describes the rate and path by which a reaction occurs. In contrast, thermodynamics deals with state functions and describes the properties, behavior, and components of a system. It is not concerned with the path taken by the process and cannot address the rate at which a reaction occurs. Although it does provide information about what can happen during a reaction process, it does not describe the detailed steps of what appears on an atomic or a molecular level. On the other hand,...

Predicting Products: SN1 vs. SN2

Predicting Products: S_N1 vs. S_N2

Nucleophilic substitution reactions of alkyl halides can proceed via an SN1 or an SN2 mechanism. While in SN2 reactions, the nucleophile attacks the substrate simultaneously as the leaving group departs, in SN1 reactions, the substrate first dissociates to give the carbocation intermediate. Various factors such as the structure of the substrate, the strength of the nucleophile, and the nature of the solvent promote one mechanism over the other.
With increased substitution on the alkyl halide,...

Machines: Problem Solving I

Machines: Problem Solving I

A toggle clamp is a mechanical device commonly used for holding and clamping objects in various applications, such as woodworking, metalworking, and assembly operations. Consider a toggle clamp subjected to a force of 200 N at the handle. The vertical clamping force can be calculated, provided the dimensions of the toggle clamp are known.
The toggle clamp system is a machine structure consisting of movable, pin-connected multi-force members that form a stabilized system to transmit forces. The...

Area of Science:

Operations Research
Data Science

Background:

Global competition necessitates efficient, low-cost supply chains to meet quality, quantity, and time demands.
Backorders, resulting from stock unavailability, increase costs and reduce customer satisfaction, highlighting the need for predictive models.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and compare machine learning models for predicting backorder rates in inventory systems.
To enhance supply chain effectiveness and overall company performance through accurate backorder prediction.

Main Methods:

Compared various machine learning models for binary classification of backorder prediction.
Employed model calibration using Isotonic Regression and post-hoc explainability with SHAP analysis.

Main Results:

Several models (RF, XGB, LGBM, BB) achieved an AUC score of 0.95.
The LGBM model, after calibration, demonstrated superior performance in backorder prediction.

Conclusions:

Machine learning effectively predicts backorders by leveraging historical data.
Inventory stock, delivery volume, imminent demand, and future demand accuracy are critical predictors of backorders.
