Discrete Stochastic Processes, Chapter 4: Renewal Processes
ocw.mit.edu158 CHAPTER 4. RENEWAL PROCESSES In most situations, we use the words arrivals and renewals interchangably, but for this type of example, the word arrival is used for the counting process {N(t); t > 0} and the word renewal is used for {Nr(t); t > 0}.The reason for being interested in {Nr(t); t > 0} is that it allows us to analyze very complicated queues such as this in two stages.
1 Limiting distribution for a Markov chain
www.columbia.edusuch a distribution will be a stationary stochastic process. We will also see that we can nd ˇ by merely solving a set of linear equations. 1.1 Communication classes and irreducibility for Markov chains For a Markov chain with state space S, consider a pair of …
Stochastic models, estimation, and control
www.cs.unc.eduour stochastic models, and Chapter 3 develops both the general concepts and the natural result of static system models. In order to incorporate dynamics into the model, Chapter 4 investigates stochastic processes, concluding with practical linear dynamic system models. The basic form is a …
An Introduction to Markov Decision Processes
cs.rice.eduStochastic Automata with Utilities A Markov Decision Process (MDP) model contains: • A set of possible world states S • A set of possible actions A • A real valued reward function R(s,a) • A description Tof each action’s effects in each state. We assume the …
MARKOV CHAINS: BASIC THEORY
galton.uchicago.eduA stochastic matrix is a square nonnegative matrix all of whose row sums are 1. A substochastic matrix is a square nonnegative matrix all of whose row sums are 1. A doubly stochastic matrix is a stochastic matrix all of whose column sums are 1. Observe that if you start with a stochastic matrix and delete the rows and columns indexed
1 IEOR 6711: Notes on the Poisson Process
www.columbia.edu1.3 Poisson point process There are several equivalent de nitions for a Poisson process; we present the simplest one. Although this de nition does not indicate why the word \Poisson" is used, that will be made apparent soon. Recall that a renewal process is a point process = ft …
Stochastic Difierential Equations
th.if.uj.edu.plstochastic difierential equation of the form dXt dt = (r +fi ¢Wt)Xt t ‚ 0 ; X0 = x where x;r and fi are constants and Wt = Wt(!) is white noise. This process is often used to model \exponential growth under uncertainty". See Chapters 5, 10, 11 and 12. The flgure is a computer simulation for the case x …
