Rare switching events in non-stationary systems.
Physical systems with many degrees of freedom can often be understood in terms of transitions between a small number of metastable states. For time-homogeneous systems with short-term memory these transitions are fully characterized by a set of rate constants. We consider the question how to extend such a coarse-grained description to non-stationary systems and to systems with finite memory. We...
متن کاملRare Events for Stationary Processes
Kielson (1979) and Aldous (1989) have given expressions for the asymptotics of the mean time until a rare event occurs. Here we extend these results beyond the Markov-ian setting using the theory for stationary point processes. We introduce two notions of asymptotic exponentiality and asymptotic independence and we study their implications on the asymptotics of the mean value of this hitting ti...
متن کاملSampling rare switching events in biochemical networks.
Bistable biochemical switches are widely found in gene regulatory networks and signal transduction pathways. Their switching dynamics are difficult to study, however, because switching events are rare, and the systems are out of equilibrium. We present a simulation method for predicting the rate and mechanism of the flipping of these switches. We apply it to a genetic switch and find that it is...
متن کاملStatistical Monitoring of Rare Events in Healthcare
There are miscellaneous quality characteristics in healthcare which are interested to be monitored. However, monitoring each characteristic needs a special statistical method. There are some characteristics with very small incidence rates that it’s usually considered not to be necessary to monitoring them, since their incidence rates are so small that p and np charts are not able to monitor t...
متن کاملEstimating Rewards & Rare Events in Nondeterministic Systems
Exhaustive verification can quantify critical behaviour arising from concurrency in nondeterministic models. Rare events typically entail no additional challenge, but complex systems are generally intractable. Recent work on Markov decision processes allows the extremal probabilities of a property to be estimated using Monte Carlo techniques, offering the potential to handle much larger models....
