 @article{reamer_ivy_vila-parrish_young_2015, title={Understanding the evolution of mathematics performance in primary education and the implications for STEM learning: A Markovian approach}, volume={47}, ISSN={["1873-7692"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.chb.2014.09.037}, abstractNote={National reports have documented deficiencies in the vertical alignment of mathematical learning in K-12 education. Many students fail to master requisite concepts before advancing to more complex ideas, leaving them ill-prepared to succeed in higher level Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) coursework. In this paper, we model elementary and middle school students’ performance in mathematics over time as a stochastic process to forecast their proficiency by the eighth grade. We conduct an extensive examination of tens of thousands of student records and extract useful information. We use this data to present a longitudinal analysis of student performance on the North Carolina End-of-Grade mathematics exam and use Markov chain models to probabilistically characterize the movement of students’ scores from one grade level to the next. This work is the first step in developing a framework to forecast individual students’ development of mathematical knowledge over time.}, journal={COMPUTERS IN HUMAN BEHAVIOR}, author={Reamer, Amy Craig and Ivy, Julie S. and Vila-Parrish, Anita R. and Young, Robert E.}, year={2015}, month={Jun}, pages={4–17} }

We model the inventory and ordering policies for perishable drugs in the setting of an inpatient hospital pharmacy. We consider two stages of inventory: raw material and finished good (e.g. intravenous). We use a two-phased approach to explore policy structures that could be implemented in the hospital pharmacy. We develop a policy which is based on the idea that hospitals can improve both costs and patient demand fulfillment by using knowledge of patient mix to guide their drug inventory and preparation decisions. We compare this policy to a simpler stationary base stock policy. The policies are evaluated on the basis of (1) shortage cost, (2) outdating cost (expirations), and (3) holding cost through a range of cost scenarios.}, journal={2008 WINTER SIMULATION CONFERENCE, VOLS 1-5}, author={Vila-Parrish, Ana R. and Ivy, Julie Simmons and King, Russell E.}, year={2008}, pages={1532–1538} }
