Papers published in 1972-1985 submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Science
… processes, and in particular to the structure of Markov chains and processes. A further group of papers is devoted to the use of stochastic processes in a variety of applications, ranging from the relatively theoretical (such as application of Markov processes in queueing models) to the very …

Steady state distributions for manpower models under conditions of growth
Markov Chain models have been used to forecast stocks in a wide range of manpower systems. Studies have been done in many areas such as education planning, hospital planning, manufacturing, private research and development, a women's military unit, the civilian workforce supporting the U.S. Navy …

Post-transcriptional control of gene expression
… a common mathematical model framework based on Markov chain models to test hypotheses, predict system dynamics or elucidate network topology. Our work lies in the intersection between mathematics and biology and showcases the power of statistical data analysis and math modeling for validation …

Decomposition of Time Scales in Linear Systems and Markovian Decision Processes
… as a means of obtaining reduced order models for analysis and control law design. In this thesis we establish how systems having this "two-time-scale" property can use singular perturbation modeling to make this property explicit enabling various reduced order analysis and design …

Analysis of Roanoke Region Weather Patterns Under Global Teleconnections
… by implementing non-homogeneous and homogeneous Markov Chain models on a monthly time series of the Troup Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), a sea level pressure based index. Meanwhile, in the second chapter the author has related or an attempt has been made to relate global teleconnections …

Analysis of Models for Longitudinal and Clustered Binary Data
… deals with two multivariate probability models, the first order Markov chain model and the multivariate probit model, that adhere to the feasible bounds on the correlation. For both the models we obtain maximum likelihood estimates for the regression and correlation parameters, and study …

Real-data modelling of transportation networks
In this thesis, after introducing the basics of Markov chains and mathematically analysing and proving the clustering properties of the eigenvector corresponding to a complex eigenvalue close to 1+0i , we develop several applications of Markov chains in transportation networks. We model bike …

Protocol engineering from Estelle specifications
… parts of the mathematics of discrete-time semi-Markov processes are presented to assist in understanding the approaches to performance evaluation described later. Not much work has been done to date in the area of performance prediction from specifications. The idea was first mooted by Rudin, …

Model reduction of Markov chains with applications to building systems
Markov chain serves as an important modeling framework in applied science and engineering. e.g., Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods and Markov Decision Processes. A fundamental problem of Markov chain models is that the dimension of the problem could be very large in practice. This causes immense …

Energy aware network coding in wireless networks
… given packets from the nodes to the BS using a Markov chain model, and show through numerical examples that when reception energy is taken into account, the incorporation of network coding offers reductions in energy use. The amount of achievable gains depends on the number of nodes in the …

Modeling person-to-person contaminant transport in enclosed environments
… steady-state computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models. In the aircraft cabin, the transient particle concentrations were measured at the breathing zones of each passenger. The experimental data were used for evaluating the transient particle models in this study. ^ When applying the CFD models, …
