STOCHASTIC MODELS IN POPULATION DYNAMICS.
… dissertation discusses the construction of some stochastic models for population dynamics with a variety of birth and death rate functions. A general model is constructed considering a fundamental growth rate function of the population while allowing random births and deaths in the population. …

Stochastic models in experimental economics
… These vary from developing new theoretical models, models that nest EUT as a special case, such as Rank Dependent Utility (RDU) and Regret Theory, as well as models that do not nest EUT, such as Cumulative Prospect Theory, to critiques of experimental methods and scope, to the promotion of …

Stochastic Models For Evolutionary Genetic Problems
Two stochastic models are designed for answering evolutionary genetic problems. The first study shows that inbreeding-environment interactions increase extinction risk. The second research demonstrates that 1) the carrying capacity and initial population growth rate is critical to determine the …

Stochastic Models of Limit Order Markets
… creating a need for a new set of quantitative models to describe these order-driven markets. This dissertation offers a collection of models that provide insight into the structure of modern financial markets, and can help to optimize trading decisions in practical applications. In the first …

Stochastic models for collective motions of populations
Stochastisches Modell für kollektive Bewegung von Populationen In dieser Doktorarbeit befassen wir uns mit stochastischen Systemen, die eines der mysteriösesten biologischen Phänomene als Modell darstellen: die kollektive Bewegung von Gemeinschaften. Diese werden bei Vögel- und Fischschwärmen, aber …

Optimization in stochastic models of network applications
In this dissertation, we propose stochastic models and develop optimal or near-optimal algorithms for resource allocation, for two important network applications: 1) video-on-demand (VoD) services in content distribution networks (CDNs) and 2) online advertising. For the first application, we …

Knowledge discovery for stochastic models of biological systems
… discovery in computational biology from a stochastic perspective. Major bottlenecks in adopting a stochastic representation can be overcome with the use of proper methodologies by integrating statistics and computer science. In particular we focus on parameter inference for stochastic …

A comparative study of stochastic models in biology
… occurring in biology are investigated. A stochastic model is built in each case which describes the problem at hand. These models are not only effective as a description tool but also afford strategies consistent with conventional model selection processes to deal with the standard …

Poisson representation methods for stochastic models of chemical reactions
A comprehensive discussion of the stochastic master equation approach to chemical reactions is presented. After a review of the various system size expansion methods that have been developed for an asymptotic solution of stochastic master equations, a new technique, the Poisson representation …

Equivalent Deterministic and Stochastic Models for Periodic Time Series
Many time series encountered in engineering applications are strongly periodic in the sense that they exhibit a recurrent pattern every S time units. Outdoor temperature, electrical consumption, the roughness of machined surfaces, and machine tool chatter vibration are a few examples. This periodic …

Exploring the Variability of Accretion Discs with Stochastic Models
… The theory of propagating fluctuations, in which stochastic fluctuations in the viscosity create corresponding fluctuations in the accretion rate which then propagate through the disc, is often used to explain these characteristic features in the variability. While this theory has been extensively …

Sketch interpretation using multiscale stochastic models of temporal patterns
Sketching is a natural mode of interaction used in a variety of settings. For example, people sketch during early design and brainstorming sessions to guide the thought process; when we communicate certain ideas, we use sketching as an additional modality to convey ideas that can not be put in …
