Design of a digital stochastic computer.
… automatically patched, general purpose, digital stochastic computer. Also described are the automatic patching system and the software which has been written to operate the machine in conjunction with a PDP/8E minicomputer. Some applications of the machine are investigated and suggestions as to …

Stochastic Computer Model Calibration and Uncertainty Quantification
… presents novel methodologies in the field of stochastic computer model calibration and uncertainty quantification. Simulation models are widely used in studying physical systems, which are often represented by a set of mathematical equations. Inference on true physical system (unobserved or …

Some aspects of the design construction and applications of a digital stochastic computer.
… and some aspects of design of a digital stochastic computer, in particular the patching system, initial conditions of integrators and a study of a stochastic to analogue output interface. In the latter stages of the project attention was turned to focus on the design and construction of a …

Estimating the Discrepancy Between Computer Model Data and Field Data: Modeling Techniques for Deterministic and Stochastic Computer Simulators
Computer models have become useful research tools in many disciplines. In many cases a researcher has access to data from a computer simulator and from a physical system. This research discusses Bayesian models that allow for the estimation of the discrepancy between the two data sources. We fit …

System simulation using digital stochastic computing structures.
… study of the potential applications of digital stochastic computers. In particular, this work has considered the simulation of stochastic networks using digital computer software written in FORTRAN. The study of these networks was aided by hybrid computer simulations which were used to check on …

Computer simulations of kin selection
… cannot operate in this structure. However, stochastic computer simulations show that random variation among daughter groups can supply the needed among-groups variation and allow kin selection to proceed. The second limit on kin selection involves simple population viscosity, in which …

Simulation of genetic control of reproduction in beef cows
A stochastic computer model was constructed to simulate cow reproductive performance. Parameters for single-service conception rate and days from calving to first service (postpartum interval) were developed from the literature. Estimates of the heritability and repeatability (h², t) of each of …

A computer model of water-in-oil emulsion coagulation
In this thesis, a stochastic computer model of water-in-oil emulsion coagulation, a two stage process of aggregation and coalescence, is presented. The theoretical basis of the model, including equations for the van der Waals, electrostatic and steric energy barriers between dissimilar droplets, is …

The Virginia Beef Cattle Simulation Model: A bio-economic simulation program modeling the interactions among reproduction, forage availability, nutrition, growth, and marketing in beef cattle
… Model (VBCSM) is a user-friendly, dynamic, stochastic computer program whose objective is to serve as a decision-aid for Virginia cattlemen dealing with complex management issues such as whether to retain weaned calves through the stocker growth stage. Its five source-code modules are …

Use of QTL identified in breed crosses for genetic improvement in pigs
… for MAI and MAS were carried out using stochastic computer simulation. In general, introgression of multiple QTL and maintaining the frequency of the donor's allele at 50% requires large population sizes that are not feasible in livestock. An alternate selection approach for MAI of …
