Suppose we have observed n sale periods, and at the end of m of them we have had leftovers and in n − m cases we have had lost sales.

We consider the demand as a normal random variable with E { x} = µ x = a1λT and the variance the mean

It follows as ∆t → 0 a ∂g ( s, x) 2 s ∂ g ( s, x ) +2 1 − g ( s, x) = 0; g ( s, Q) = 1. (1) a2 ∂x a2 λ ∂x 2 2

2. PARAMETERS’ ESTIMATION There are different approaches to handling of demand uncertainty. In Rossia et al. (2014) overview of parametric approaches to the newsvendor problem is provided. Note that most of the papers have focused on the case when the demand is fully observed. The censored demand case induced by lost sales is considered by Hill (1992), Nahmias (1994), Lau and Lau (1996); and Agrawal and Smith (1996). We estimate parameters of interest a1λT and a2 λT given two samples: the sale period’s duration, i.e. the time at which the vendor runs short, t1, t2, …, ∀i ti ≤ T , if there are lost sales; and the sizes of sales during time period T x1, x2, …, ∀i xi ≤ Q , if there are leftovers at the end of the period. We assume that the customer satisfy the demand as far as possible when the amount required is more than the remainder; and the lot sizes are the same for each period. We base the estimating procedure on the distributions obtained above.

where x =

1 m ∑ xi . m i =1

So we get following system

Let t1, t2, …, tn-m, ∀i ti ≤ T be the observed sale period’s durations in n − m periods.

Let us introduce the dimensionless quantities ν = µt T and s = σt T .

where µˆ (xt ) and σˆ (xt ) are the estimates of a1λT and a2 λT derived from the sample t1, t2, …, tn-m. Obtaining joint distribution (Ti , X i ) is one of the directions of future research.

We have

In this section, we simulate the system for three setups:

and

 T − µt P{t < T } = Φ   σt

 1− ν   = Φ .  s  

1. Batch size has uniform distribution at [2, 8]. It follows that a1 = 5 and a2 = 28. The intensity λ equals 1. 2. Batch size has exponential distribution with a1 = 4. It follows that a2 = 32. The intensity λ equals 1.

m = h. n

3. Batch size has beta distribution with shape parameters α = 0.429 and β = 0.286. It follows that a1 = 0.6 and a2 = 0.5. The intensity λ equals 4.

We estimate the probability P{t < T } by

So we get the first equation for estimates νˆ and sˆ

 1 − νˆ  Φ =h,  sˆ  or νˆ + sˆΨ (h) = 1 . Analogously the previous part we receive the second equation 2  1  exp  − (T − µˆ t ) / σˆ t   2  =t , µˆ t − σˆ t  2pΦ (T − µˆ t ) / σˆ t 

where t =

Ψ ( h) + F ( h) , τΨ (h) + F (h)

σˆ (xt ) = Q 2 (1 − τ )

We consider the sale period’s durations as a normal random variable with the mean E {t} = µt = Q a1λ and the variance

Var {t} = σt2 = a2 λQ (a1λ)3 .

We replicate the procedures eleven times for n = 300 and n = 50.

In Figures 1−3 and 4−6 the numerical results for exponential batch size’s distribution are given for n = 300 and n = 50 m is equal respectively. For Q = 540 the ratio n−m approximately to 3, i.e. the probability of leftovers is m ≈ 1 , i.e. the approximately 0.75, for Q = 500 the ratio n−m m 1 ≈ , lot size is close to optimal, for Q = 455 the ratio n−m 3 i.e. the probability of stock-out is approximately 0.75.

Fig. 6. Exponential distribution, Q = 455, n = 50. So we recommend to use weighted estimates µˆ and σˆ . It allows us to increase significantly the accuracy of demand’s standard deviation’s estimation which is comparatively low, and the accuracy of µˆ does not differ significantly from the best one proposed.
