... in planning methods by integrating safety events and their impacts on project delays. Design/methodology/approach The study utilizes a combination of stochastic processes and neural network models to develop a novel approach to deal with worker safety in construction planning methods. The proposed method...

... but stands for a sequence of computational instructions. Solution by a possibly nonlinear algorithm gives: Equation 2 The response of the random system to time varying actions is a stochastic process. Equation (1) has to be stated in dependence of time, momentary solutions by equation (2) refer to distinct...

... of representing the output of an expensive computer code as a Gaussian stochastic process. Design/methodology/approach The Gaussian process emulator method is discussed and then applied to both simulated and experimentally measured data from the frequency response of a cantilever plate excited by a harmonic...
