Some Nonlinear Stochastic Growth Models
Stochastic growth models which generalize GaltonWatson branching processes are discussed. The models have an interpretation in population dynamics and economics. The individuals or particles do interact, e.g. if the individuals represent members of a population, allowance is made for sexual reproduction, so that pairs of individuals are needed to produce offspring. The typical form of the resul...
متن کاملStochastic models of streamflow: some case studies
Ten candidate models of the Auto-Regressive Moving Average (ARMA) family are investigated for representing and forecasting monthly and ten-day streamflow in three Indian rivers. The best models for forecasting and representation of data are selected by using the criteria of Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) and Maximum Likelihood (ML) respectively. The selected models are validated for significa...
متن کاملStochastic Justification of Some Simple Reliability Models∗
In this paper we derive conditions on the internal wear process under which the resulting time-to-failure model will be of the simple collapsible form (Oakes, 1995, Duchesne and Lawless, 2000) when the usage accumulation history is available. We suppose that failure occurs when internal wear crosses a certain threshold and/or a traumatic event causes the item to fail (Cox, 1999 and Bagdonavičiu...
متن کاملSome Stochastic Process Models for Discrete-Event Stochastic Systems
1. Discrete-Event Stochastic Systems Recall our previous definition of a discrete-event stochastic system: the system makes stochastic state transitions only at an increasing sequence of random times. If X(t) is the state of the system at time t, then a typical sample path of the underlying stochastic process of the simulation, i.e. (X(t): t ≥ 0), looks like this (for a finite or countably infi...
متن کاملSome stochastic models for plasmid copy number.
Some stochastic models for the copy number of plasmids in a cell line are studied. When considering the behavior of copy number in the whole cell line, the theory of multitype branching processes is appropriate. Attention is paid to the cure rate in the cell line, and the asymptotic fractions of cells containing a given number of plasmids. These quantities are used to compare the models numeric...
