Globally Optimal Parameter Estimates for Non-linear Diffusions
This paper studies an approximation method for the log likelihood function of a non-linear diffusion process using the bridge of the diffusion. The main result (Theorem 1) shows that this approximation converges uniformly to the unknown likelihood function and can therefore be used efficiently with any algorithm for sampling from the law of the bridge. We also introduce an expected maximum like...
متن کاملParameter - dependent optimal stopping problems for one - dimensional diffusions ∗
We consider a class of optimal stopping problems for a regular one-dimensional diffusion whose payoff depends on a linear parameter. As shown in [Bank and Föllmer(2003)] problems of this type may allow for a universal stopping signal that characterizes optimal stopping times for any given parameter via a level-crossing principle of some auxiliary process. For regular one-dimensional diffusions,...
متن کاملComposing Globally Consistent Pathway Parameter Estimates Through Belief Propagation
Parameter estimation of large bio-pathway models is an important and difficult problem. To reduce the prohibitive computational cost, one approach is to decompose a large model into components and estimate their parameters separately. However, the decomposed components often share common parts that may have conflicting parameter estimates, as they are computed independently within each componen...
متن کاملGlobally Optimal Nonlinear Model Predictive Control
This paper presents a globally optimal nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) algorithm. Utilizing local techniques on nonlinear nonconvex problems leaves one susceptible to suboptimal solutions. In complex problems, local solver reliability is difficult to predict and often highly dependent upon the choice of initial guess. For the purpose of NMPC, local solvers can cause the algorithm to f...
