MINIMIZATION OF RISK OF THE ERRONEOUS DECISION IN THE ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPORTANCE OF STATISTICAL RELATIONS OF TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC INDICATORS OF THE OBJECTS OF ELECTRIC POWER SY... by E. M. Farhadzadeh, A. Z. Muradaliyev, Yu. Z. Farzaliyev, T. K. Rafiyeva, S. A. Abdullayeva

“…The novelty consists in the application of fiducial approach; the calculation of critical values are fulfilled with the aid of computer technologies of simulation of possible realizations of the correlation coefficients for the two assumptions, viz. technical and economic indicators of the independent and dependent; simulation is fulfilled with the method of solving the “inverse problem”, which enables the possible implementation of the correlation coefficients for the really dependent and independent samples of random variables at a given sample size; the developed algorithms and programs for calculation made it possible to obtain the critical values of correlation coefficients for independent and dependent samples; in conditions of the sameness of the consequences of erroneous decisions it is proposed to make a decision not based on critical value but based on the boundary values of the correlation coefficients that correspond to the minimum total risk of erroneous decisions; the exemplification of the recommendations application was made on example of technical and economic parameters of boilers of power units of 300 MWt. …”
