Combination of Approximation and Simulation Approaches for Distribution Functions in Stochastic Networks
This paper deals with the fundamental problem of estimating the distribution function (df) of the duration of the longest path in the stochastic activity network such as PERT network. First a technique is introduced to reduce variance in Conditional Monte Carlo Sampling (CMCS). Second, based on this technique a new procedure is developed for CMCS. Third, a combined approach of simulation and ap...
متن کاملPenalty methods with stochastic approximation for stochastic nonlinear programming
In this paper, we propose a class of penalty methods with stochastic approximation for solving stochastic nonlinear programming problems. We assume that only noisy gradients or function values of the objective function are available via calls to a stochastic first-order or zeroth-order oracle. In each iteration of the proposed methods, we minimize an exact penalty function which is nonsmooth an...
متن کاملNonlinear Approximation of Random Functions
Given an orthonormal basis and a certain class X of vectors in a Hilbert space H, consider the following nonlinear approximation process: approach a vector x ∈ X by keeping only its N largest coordinates, and let N go to infinity. In this paper, we study the accuracy of this process in the case where H = L(I), and we use either the trigonometric system or a wavelet basis to expand this space. T...
متن کاملApplication of new basis functions for solving nonlinear stochastic differential equations
This paper presents an approach for solving a nonlinear stochastic differential equations (NSDEs) using a new basis functions (NBFs). These functions and their operational matrices are used for representing matrix form of the NBFs. With using this method in combination with the collocation method, the NSDEs are reduced a stochastic nonlinear system of equations and unknowns. Then, the error ana...
متن کاملProper Loss Functions for Nonlinear Hawkes Processes
Temporal point processes are a statistical framework for modelling the times at which events of interest occur. The Hawkes process is a well-studied instance of this framework that captures self-exciting behaviour, wherein the occurrence of one event increases the likelihood of future events. Such processes have been successfully applied to model phenomena ranging from earthquakes to behaviour ...
