Journal of Hydroinformatics, 13(3), 545–557.

By: L. Liu*, A. Sankarasubramanian n & S. Ranjithan n

author keywords: contaminant source; logistic regression analysis; probabilistic characterization; water distribution systems
TL;DR: A rapid estimation methodology based on logistic regression (LR) analysis to estimate the likelihood of any given node as a potential source of contamination and can also serve as a prescreening step for simulation‐optimization methods by reducing the decision space and thus alleviating the computational burden.

2011 journal article

Using modeling to generate alternatives (MGA) to expand our thinking on energy futures

ENERGY ECONOMICS, 33(2), 145–152.

By: J. DeCarolis n

author keywords: Mathematical methods (JEL: CO2); Optimization; Uncertainty; Modeling
TL;DR: A technique borrowed from the operations research literature called modeling to generate alternatives (MGA) is introduced as a way to flex energy models and systematically explore the feasible, near-optimal solution space in order to develop alternatives that are maximally different in decision space but perform well with regard to the modeled objectives.
