Inference In Gompertz-Type Nonhomogeneous Stochastic Systems By Means Of Discrete Sampling
The study of stochastic systems by using Markovian processes has become of great interest to investigators in many disciplines (biology, physics, demography, economics, cybernetics, etc.). Among these processes, diffusions have been widely considered and its study has covered several areas such the inference (especially the estimation of the parameters of the drift and the diffusion coefficient...
متن کاملAccelerated stochastic sampling of discrete statistical systems.
We propose a method to reduce the relaxation time toward equilibrium in stochastic sampling of complex energy landscapes in statistical systems with discrete degrees of freedom by generalizing the platform previously developed for continuous systems. The method starts from a master equation, in contrast to the Fokker-Planck equation for the continuous case. The master equation is transformed in...
متن کاملStochastic Logic Programs: Sampling, Inference and Applications
Algorithms for exact and approximate inference in stochastic logic programs (SLPs) are pre sented, based respectively, on variable elimina tion and importance sampling. We then show how SLPs can be used to represent prior distri butions for machine learning, using (i) logic pro grams and (ii) Bayes net structures as examples. Drawing on existing work in statistics, we apply the Metropolis-H...
متن کاملUpdate by Means of Inference
Katsuno and Mendelzon have distinguished two abstract frameworks for reasoning about change: theory revision and theory update. Theory revision involves a change in knowledge or belief with respect to a static world. By contrast, theory update involves a change of knowledge or belief in a changing world. In this paper we are concerned with theory update. Winslett has shown that theory update sh...
متن کاملAnalyzing the PBIL Algorithm by Means of Discrete Dynamical Systems
In this paper the convergence behavior of the Population Based Incremental Learning algorithm (PBIL) is analyzed using discrete dynamical systems. A discrete dynamical system is associated with the PBIL algorithm. We demonstrate that the behavior of the PBIL algorithm follows the iterates of the discrete dynamical system for a long time when the parameter α is near zero. We show that all the po...
