    Abstract Aim: This study aimed to analyse the treatment cost of a patient, depending on the number of patients treated, patient waiting times, and the number of nurses and doctors employed in an emergency department of a private hospital.
    Background: Within health systems, changes in health care resources can be very costly, especially if these changes are long-term. The discrete-event simulation method described in this paper allows for the monitoring and analysis of complicated changes in real systems by using computer-based modelling.
    Method: The discrete event simulation model was derived from nine scenarios according to the number of nurses and doctors, and a comparison was made between the results of the scenarios and the actual results.
    Results: Among the scenarios, scenario 6 provided the lowest treatment cost for a patient by employing three doctors and two nurses with the best performance. The cost of treatment for a patient varies between ŧ9.00 and ŧ11.00 depending on the value of δ, and the daily cost of these resources to the hospital is ŧ1300.77.
    Conclusions: This study provides a clear picture of a cost analysis comparison based on changes made about the actual health system in the computer-based simulated environment.
    Implications for nursing management: The workforce data of nurses and doctors offers enough detail for cost analysis in health care settings to calculate the cost of treatment for a patient.

    Abstract The study aimed to describe and test machine learning (ML)‐based algorithms to evaluate the unit price of drinking milk. The algorithms were applied to the data collected over 8 years in 2014 and 2021 related to the price of drinking milk in Turkey. The economic, social, and environmental factors that have an impact on the unit price of drinking milk were evaluated. Five ML algorithms, including random forest, gradient boosting, support vector machine (SVM), neural network, and AdaBoost algorithms, were utilized to predict the drinking milk unit price. ML also applied hyperparameter tuning with nested cross‐validation to calculate the prediction accuracy for each algorithm. The results show that the random forest algorithm based on the features of the ML algorithms has the best performance, with the accuracy of 99.30% for training and 98.10% for testing the dataset. The average accuracy of gradient boosting, SVM, neural network, and AdaBoost are obtained as 97.30%, 96.15%, 95.65%, and 96.05%, respectively. Random forest performed best as the target variable with the lowest deviation values of mean squared error (MSE) (0.004), root mean square error (RMSE) (0.060), and mean absolute error (MAE) (0.029) in the training and MSE (0.009), RMSE (0.096), and MA (0.055) in the testing dataset. This study presents an interesting perspective with practical potential to adopt ML methods in the dairy industry. The developed ML algorithms can provide dairy investors and policymakers with important decision‐support information. [EconLit Citations: C13, C53, L66, C88].

    Abstract The importance of solar power generation facilities, as one of the renewable energy types, is increasing daily. This study proposes a two-way validation approach to verify the validity of the forecast data by integrating solar energy production quantity with machine learning (ML) and I-MR statistical process control (SPC) charts. The estimation data for the amount of solar energy production were obtained by using random forest (RF), linear regression (LR), gradient boosting (GB), and adaptive boost or AdaBoost (AB) algorithms from ML models. Data belonging to eight independent variables consisting of environmental and geographical factors were used. This study consists of approximately two years of data on the amount of solar energy production for 636 days. The study consisted of three stages: First, descriptive statistics and analysis of variance tests of the dependent and independent variables were performed. In the second stage of the method, estimation data for the amount of solar energy production, representing the dependent variable, were obtained from AB, RF, GB, and LR algorithms and ML models. The AB algorithm performed best among the ML models, with the lowest RMSE, MSE, and MAE values and the highest R 2 value for the forecast data. For the estimation phase of the AB algorithm, the RMSE, MSE, MAE, and R 2 values were calculated as 0.328, 0.107, 0.134, and 0.909, respectively. The RF algorithm performed worst with performance scores for the prediction data. The RMSE, MSE, MAE, and R 2 values of the RF algorithm were calculated as 0.685, 0.469, 0.503, and 0.623, respectively. In the last stage, the estimation data were tested with I-MR control charts, one of the statistical control tools. At the end of all phases, this study aimed to validate the results obtained by integrating the two techniques. Therefore, this study offers a critical perspective to demonstrate a two-way verification approach to whether a system’s forecast data are under control for the future.

    Abstract COVID-19's daily increasing cases and deaths have led to worldwide lockdown, quarantine and some restrictions. This study aims to analyze the effect of lockdown days on the spread of coronavirus in countries. COVID-19 cases and lockdown days data were collected for 49 countries that implemented the lockdown between certain dates (without interruption). The correlation tests were used for data analysis based on unconstrained (normal) and constrained (Tukey-lambda). The lockdown days was significantly correlated with COVID-19 pandemic based on unconstrained (r = -0.9126, F-ratio = 6.1654; t-ratio = 2.40; prob > .0203 with 49 observations) and based on Tukey-lambda (r = 0.7402, λ = 0.14). The lockdown, one of the social isolation restrictions, has been observed to prevent the COVID-19 pandemic, and showed that the spread of the virus can be significantly reduced by this preventive restriction in this study. This study offers initial evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic can be suppressed by a lockdown. The application of lockdown by governments is also thought to be effective on psychology, environment and economy besides having impact on Covid-19.
