  1. On a Stochastic Model of Epidemics

    Prather, Rachel2021

    <p>This thesis examines a stochastic model of epidemics initially proposed and studied by Norman T.J. Bailey [1]. We discuss some issues with Bailey's stochastic model and argue that it may not be a viable theoretical platform for a more general epidemic model. A possible alternative approach to …

    Brandão, Anabela de GusmãoDepartment of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics1986

    … whether climate variables could be usefully modelled on a daily basis. Three stochastic models are considered for the description of daily climate sequences, which can then be used to generate artificial sequences. The climate variables under consideration are rainfall, maximum and minimum …

  3. A stochastic model of component failure mechanisms

    Tran, TramVirginia Polytechnic Institute and State University1987

    … The process of accumulating reaction product is modelled as a Markov pure birth process which, in turn, is used in developing the failure time distribution. The model is analyzed under the assumption that the reaction rate is constant. Also, the initial state and the final state of the …

  4. Stochastic Model Predictive Control via Fixed Structure Policies

    Wilson, Elias

    <p>In this work, the model predictive control problem is extended to include not only open-loop control sequences but also state-feedback control laws by directly optimizing parameters of a control policy. Additionally, continuous cost functions are developed to allow training of the control policy …

  7. Fast stochastic model predictive control under parametric uncertainties

    Freiherr von Andrian-Werburg, Matthias.Massachusetts Institute of Technology2020

    Model predictive control (MPC) is widely applied in industry due to its ability to handle constraints explicitly Many processes in chemical engineering have a high number of states, but a relatively low number of inputs and outputs Input-output formulations of MPC employ process models, predicting …

    Joshi, Kaustubh RaghunandanUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2015

    We are unaware of any other framework for recovery in distributed systems that integrates monitoring and recovery in an iterative manner, is able to deal with imprecise system states and selectively choose actions that either gather information or make progress towards recovery, and generates …

    Beelders, OwenSchool of Economics1991

    A stochastic model of the South African Gold mines was constructed using Contingent Claims Analysis. This method allows the modelling of the major sources of uncertainty that the gold mines face, namely, uncertainty surrounding the future gold price, the exchange rate, the inflation rate, and the …
