Basic bounds of Fréchet classes

Jaroslav Skřivánek (2014)

Kybernetika

Algebraic bounds of Fréchet classes of copulas can be derived from the fundamental attributes of the associated copulas. A minimal system of algebraic bounds and related basic bounds can be defined using properties of pointed convex polyhedral cones and their relationship with non-negative solutions of systems of linear homogeneous Diophantine equations, largely studied in Combinatorics. The basic bounds are an algebraic improving of the Fréchet-Hoeffding bounds. We provide conditions of compatibility...

Bayesian estimation of the mean holding time in average semi-Markov control processes

J. Adolfo Minjárez-Sosa, José A. Montoya (2015)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We consider semi-Markov control models with Borel state and action spaces, possibly unbounded costs, and holding times with a generalized exponential distribution with unknown mean θ. Assuming that such a distribution does not depend on the state-action pairs, we introduce a Bayesian estimation procedure for θ, which combined with a variant of the vanishing discount factor approach yields average cost optimal policies.

Bayesian like R- and M- estimators of change points

Jaromír Antoch, Marie Husková (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

The purpose of this paper is to study Bayesian like R- and M-estimators of change point(s). These estimators have smaller variance than the related argmax type estimators. Confidence intervals for the change point based on the exchangeability arguments are constructed. Finally, theoretical results are illustrated on the real data set.

Bayesian reliability models of Weibull systems: State of the art

Abdelaziz Zaidi, Belkacem Ould Bouamama, Moncef Tagina (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In the reliability modeling field, we sometimes encounter systems with uncertain structures, and the use of fault trees and reliability diagrams is not possible. To overcome this problem, Bayesian approaches offer a considerable efficiency in this context. This paper introduces recent contributions in the field of reliability modeling with the Bayesian network approach. Bayesian reliability models are applied to systems with Weibull distribution of failure. To achieve the formulation of the reliability...

Behavior near the extinction time in self-similar fragmentations I : the stable case

Christina Goldschmidt, Bénédicte Haas (2010)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

The stable fragmentation with index of self-similarity α∈[−1/2, 0) is derived by looking at the masses of the subtrees formed by discarding the parts of a (1+α)−1–stable continuum random tree below height t, for t≥0. We give a detailed limiting description of the distribution of such a fragmentation, (F(t), t≥0), as it approaches its time of extinction, ζ. In particular, we show that t1/αF((ζ−t)+) converges in distribution as t→0 to a non-trivial limit. In order to prove this, we go further and...

Behavior of the Euler scheme with decreasing step in a degenerate situation

Vincent Lemaire (2007)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

The aim of this short note is to study the behavior of the weighted empirical measures of the decreasing step Euler scheme of a one-dimensional diffusion process having multiple invariant measures. This situation can occur when the drift and the diffusion coefficient are vanish simultaneously.

Bernoulli cluster field: Voronoi tessellations

Ivan Saxl, Petr Ponížil (2002)

Applications of Mathematics

A new point process is proposed which can be viewed either as a Boolean cluster model with two cluster modes or as a p -thinned Neyman-Scott cluster process with the retention of the original parent point. Voronoi tessellation generated by such a point process has extremely high coefficients of variation of cell volumes as well as of profile areas and lengths in the planar and line induced tessellations. An approximate numerical model of tessellation characteristics is developed for the case of small...
