annual cost savings throughout its distribution center network. Sun Microsystems enhanced its sales forecasts by using Bayesian methods that combines its sales staffs judgmental priors and statistical analysis, and keeps improving itself with accumulating priors and actual sales data. The difference in profitability and operational efficiency between the companies at 3.0 and 1.0 is evident.
appropriately. Thus, the research was once again assigned to a different team to conduct.
The main point of the research is to find the optimized number of carton sizes that can minimize the total order-fulfillment cost while keeping the operational efficiency. The team took communication, observation, data collection and analysis, and heuristics as its main approaches for the project.

Abstract
본 보고서는 Neelon et al(2011)의 논문을 읽고 그들이 수행한 분석을 이해하고 또한 그 분석을 재연해보는 것을 목표로 한다. 그들은 지금까지 임신 중 태아의 건강에 미치는 어머니의 여러 가지 요인을 분석하는 데에 있어
위하여 생산함수 접근법(production function approach)을 사용하기로 하며, 구체적으로는 Cobb-Douglas 생산함수를 가정하기로 한다. 여기에서 Yt는 시점 t의 생산량, Lt는 노동투입, Kt는 자본스톡, At는 총요소생산성(total factor productivity; TFP)을 나타내며, αt와 βt는 각각 생산량의 노동 및 자본탄력성을 의미한다.
approaches to disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment are safe and effective.
3. Purpose of clinical trials
Many clinical trials are done to see if a new drug or device is safe and effective for people to use. Clinical trials are also done for other reasons. Some compare existing treatments to determine which is better. The current, approved treatments are called the "standard treatments
