چکیده

We describe a method for identifying random walks. This method is based on the previously proposed small shuffle surrogate method. Hence, our method does not depend on the specific data distribution, although previously proposed methods depend on properties of the data distribution. The method is demonstrated for numerical data generated by known systems, and applied to several actual time series of special interest.  2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

On the Random Walk Method for Protocol Testing

An important method for testing large and complex protocols repeatedly generates and tests a part of the reachable state space by following a random walk; the main advantage of this method is that it has minimal memory requirements. We use the coupling technique from Markov chain theory to show that short trajectories of the random walk sample accurately the reachable state space of a nontrivia...

A PRELUDE TO THE THEORY OF RANDOM WALKS IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENTS

A random walk on a lattice is one of the most fundamental models in probability theory. When the random walk is inhomogenous and its inhomogeniety comes from an ergodic stationary process, the walk is called a random walk in a random environment (RWRE). The basic questions such as the law of large numbers (LLN), the central limit theorem (CLT), and the large deviation principle (LDP) are ...

A Random Walk with Exponential Travel Times

Consider the random walk among N places with N(N - 1)/2 transports. We attach an exponential random variable Xij to each transport between places Pi and Pj and take these random variables mutually independent. If transports are possible or impossible independently with probability p and 1-p, respectively, then we give a lower bound for the distribution function of the smallest path at point log...
