A heuristic procedure for compact Markov representation of PH distributions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The minimal Markovian representation of PH distributions is an open research problem, which was actively investigated during the last two decades. We present a numerical method for finding small Markovian representation of PH distributions and investigate the general quality of the method by comparing the size of the obtained representation with the size of the representation obtained by alternative methods. Our numerical method intends to find a small Markovian representation. We report examples when the obtained representation is larger than the minimal Markovian representation.

Heuristic representation optimization for efficient generation of PH-distributed random variates
Phase-type (PH) distributions are being used to model a wide range of phenomena in performance and dependability evaluation. The resulting models may be employed in analytical as well as in simulation-driven approaches. Simulations require the efficient generation of random variates from PH distributions. PH distributions have different representations and different associated computational cos...
متن کاملClassification and properties of acyclic discrete phase-type distributions based on geometric and shifted geometric distributions
Acyclic phase-type distributions form a versatile model, serving as approximations to many probability distributions in various circumstances. They exhibit special properties and characteristics that usually make their applications attractive. Compared to acyclic continuous phase-type (ACPH) distributions, acyclic discrete phase-type (ADPH) distributions and their subclasses (ADPH family) have ...
متن کاملThe study of relation between existence of admissible vectors and amenability and compactness of a locally compact group
The existence of admissible vectors for a locally compact group is closely related to the group's profile. In the compact groups, according to Peter-weyl theorem, every irreducible representation has admissible vector. In this paper, the conditions under which the inverse of this case is being investigated has been investigated. Conditions such as views that are admissible and stable will get c...
متن کاملCurrent results and open questions on PH and MAP characterization
This paper summarizes some recent results of the authors on the characterization and the canonical representation of order n phase type distributions (PH(n)) and Markov Arrival processes (MAP(n)). These results make possible a unique and minimal representation of PH(n) and MAP(n) and opens the way for constructing efficient fitting methods for MAP(n). Especially, this summary is based on [10, 1...
متن کاملA Class of compact operators on homogeneous spaces
Let $varpi$ be a representation of the homogeneous space $G/H$, where $G$ be a locally compact group and $H$ be a compact subgroup of $G$. For an admissible wavelet $zeta$ for $varpi$ and $psi in L^p(G/H), 1leq p <infty$, we determine a class of bounded compact operators which are related to continuous wavelet transforms on homogeneous spaces and they are called localization operators.
