چکیده

In this paper we mirror the framework of generalized (non-)linear models to define the family of generalized age-period-cohort stochastic mortality models which encompasses the vast majority of stochastic mortality projection models proposed to date, including the well-known Lee-Carter and Cairns-Blake-Dowd models. We also introduce the R package StMoMo which exploits the unifying framework of the generalized age-period-cohort family to provide tools for fitting stochastic mortality models, assessing their goodness of fit and performing mortality projections. We illustrate some of the capabilities of the package by performing a comparison of several stochastic mortality models applied to the England and Wales population.

Application of the Kalman-Bucy filter in the stochastic differential equation for the modeling of RL circuit

In this paper, we present an application of the stochastic calculusto the problem of modeling electrical networks. The filtering problem have animportant role in the theory of stochastic differential equations(SDEs). In thisarticle, we present an application of the continuous Kalman-Bucy filter for a RLcircuit. The deterministic model of the circuit is replaced by a stochastic model byadding a ...

Dealing with Stochastic Volatility in Time Series Using the R Package stochvol

The R package stochvol provides a fully Bayesian implementation of heteroskedasticity modeling within the framework of stochastic volatility. It utilizes Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) samplers to conduct inference by obtaining draws from the posterior distribution of parameters and latent variables which can then be used for predicting future volatilities. The package can straightforwardly be...

3D stochastic rock fracture modeling related to strike-slip faults

Fault zones and fault-related fracture systems control the mechanical behaviors and fluid-flow properties of the Earth’s crust. Furthermore, nowadays, modeling is being increasingly used in order to understand the behavior of rock masses, and to determine their characteristics. In this work, fault zones and fracture patterns are reviewed, and also comprehensive studies are carried out on the fr...
