Correcting mean-field approximations for birth-death-movement processes.
On the microscale, migration, proliferation and death are crucial in the development, homeostasis and repair of an organism; on the macroscale, such effects are important in the sustainability of a population in its environment. Dependent on the relative rates of migration, proliferation and death, spatial heterogeneity may arise within an initially uniform field; this leads to the formation of...
متن کاملMean Field Variational Approximations in Continuous-Time Markov Processes
Continuous-time Bayesian networks is a natural structured representation language for multi-component stochastic processes that evolve continuously over time. Despite the compact representation, inference in such models is intractable even in relatively simple structured networks. Here we introduce a mean field variational approximation in which we use a product of inhomogeneous Markov processe...
متن کاملAccuracy of Mean Field Approximations for Atomsand
We estimate the accuracy of the mean eld approximation induced by the Thomas-Fermi potential for the ground state energy of atoms and molecules. Taking the Dirac exchange correction into account, we show the error to be of the form O(Z 5=3?) + D for any < 2=231 as the total nuclear charge Z becomes large. D is an electrostatic energy of the diierence density that measures the deviation of the m...
متن کاملQuasi - Birth - Death Processes
1 Description of the Model This case study is analog to the one described in [2]. We considered a system consisting of a fixed number of m processors and an infinite queue for storing job requests. The processing speed of a processor is described by the rate γ, while λ describes the incoming rate of new jobs. If a new job arrives while at least one processor is idle, the job will be processed d...
متن کاملBirth-death processes
Integral functionals of Markov processes are widely used in stochastic modeling for applications in ecology, evolution, infectious disease epidemiology, and operations research. The integral of a stochastic process is often called the “cost” or “reward” accrued by the process. Many important stochastic counting models can be written as general birth-death processes (BDPs), which are continuous-...
