Stochastic Latent Residual Approach for Consistency Model Assessment

the use of appropriate madm model for ranking the vendors of mci equipments using fuzzy approach

abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...

Stochastic Comparison approach for Stochastic Model Checking

Stochastic model checking requires the computation of steady-state or transient distribution for finite or infinite Markov chains for the evaluation of some formulas implying probabilities. However the numerical analysis of Markov chains is much less efficient than the sophisticated algorithmic techniques such as MTBDD developed for the deterministic model checking. We propose to simplify the n...

Stochastic Residual-Error Analysis for Estimating Hydrologic Model Predictive Uncertainty

A hybrid time series-nonparametric sampling approach, referred to herein as semiparametric, is presented for the estimation of model predictive uncertainty. The methodology is a two-step procedure whereby a distributed hydrologic model is first calibrated, then followed by brute force application of time series analysis with nonparametric random generation to synthesize serially correlated mode...

A hierarchical latent stochastic differential equation model for affective dynamics.

In this article a continuous-time stochastic model (the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process) is presented to model the perpetually altering states of the core affect, which is a 2-dimensional concept underlying all our affective experiences. The process model that we propose can account for the temporal changes in core affect on the latent level. The key parameters of the model are the average position ...
