چکیده
In this paper we consider an infinite buffer fluid model whose input is driven by independent semi-Markov processes+ The output capacity of the buffer is a constant+We derive upper and lower bounds for the limiting distribution of the stationary buffer content process+We discuss examples and applications where the results can be used to determine bounds on the loss probability in telecommunication networks+

Applying Semi-Markov Models for forecasting the Triple Dimensions of Next Earthquake Occurrences: with Case Study in Iran Area
In this paper Semi-Markov models are used to forecast the triple dimensions of next earthquake occurrences. Each earthquake can be investigated in three dimensions including temporal, spatial and magnitude. Semi-Markov models can be used for earthquake forecasting in each arbitrary area and each area can be divided into several zones. In Semi-Markov models each zone can be considered as a sta...
متن کاملModified Goal Programming Approach for Improving the Discrimination Power and Weights Dispersion
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a technique based on linear programming (LP) to measure the relative efficiency of homogeneous units by considering inputs and outputs. The lack of discrimination among efficient decision making units (DMUs) and unrealistic input-outputs weights have been known as the drawback of DEA. In this paper the new scheme based on a goal programming data envelopment an...
متن کاملConvergence of some time inhomogeneous Markov chains via spectral techniques
We consider the problem of giving explicit spectral bounds for time inhomogeneous Markov chains on a finite state space. We give bounds that apply when there exists a probability π such that each of the different steps corresponds to a nice ergodic Markov kernel with stationary measure π . For instance, our results provide sharp bounds for models such as semi-random transpositions and semi-rand...
متن کاملForecasting time and place of earthquakes using a Semi-Markov model (with case study in Tehran province)
The paper examines the application of semi-Markov models to the phenomenon of earthquakes in Tehran province. Generally, earthquakes are not independent of each other, and time and place of earthquakes are related to previous earthquakes; moreover, the time between earthquakes affects the pattern of their occurrence; thus, this occurrence can be likened to semi-Markov models. ...
متن کاملModeling Event-driven Time Series with Generalized Hidden Semi-Markov Models
This report introduces a new model for event-driven temporal sequence processing: Generalized Hidden Semi-Markov Models (GHSMMs). GHSMMs are an extension of hidden Markov models to continuous time that builds on turning the stochastic process of hidden state traversals into a semi-Markov process. A large variety of probability distributions can be used to specify transition durations. It is sho...
