Sensitivity Analysis of Markovian Models

چکیده
Sensitivity analysis of Markovian models amounts to computing the constants in polynomial functions of a parameter under study. To handle the computational complexity involved, we propose a method for approximate sensitivity analysis of such models. We show that theoretical properties allow us to reason for the present time using just few observations from the past with small loss in accuracy. The computational requirements of our method render sensitivity analysis practicable even for complex Markovian models. We illustrate our method by means of a sensitivity analysis of a real-life Markovian model in the field of infectious diseases.

Monte Carlo Simulation to Compare Markovian and Neural Network Models for Reliability Assessment in Multiple AGV Manufacturing System
We compare two approaches for a Markovian model in flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) using Monte Carlo simulation. The model which is a development of Fazlollahtabar and Saidi-Mehrabad (2013), considers two features of automated flexible manufacturing systems equipped with automated guided vehicle (AGV) namely, the reliability of machines and the reliability of AGVs in a multiple AGV jobsho...
متن کاملSensitivity Properties of Markovian Models
Markovian models specify a considerable number of parameter probabilities. Whether estimated from data or assessed by experts, these parameters tend to be inaccurate to at least some degree. Sensitivity analysis provides for studying the effects of these inaccuracies on the model’s output probabilities. In this paper, we extend previous work on sensitivity analysis of Bayesian networks, to Mark...
متن کاملReliability importance analysis of Markovian systems at steady state using perturbation analysis
ABSTRACT: Sensitivity analysis has been primarily defined for static systems, i.e. systems described by combinatorial reliability models (fault or event trees). Several structural and probabilistic measures have been proposed to assess the components importance. For dynamic systems including inter-component and functional dependencies (cold spare, shared load, shared ressources, ....), and desc...
متن کاملANALYSIS OF FINITE BUFFER RENEWAL INPUT QUEUE WITH BALKING AND MARKOVIAN SERVICE PROCESS
This paper presents the analysis of a renewal input finite buffer queue wherein the customers can decide either to join the queue with a probability or balk. The service process is Markovian service process ($MSP$) governed by an underlying $m$-state Markov chain. Employing the supplementary variable and imbedded Markov chain techniques, the steady-state system length distributions at pre...
متن کاملNew Approach to Exponential Stability Analysis and Stabilization for Delayed T-S Fuzzy Markovian Jump Systems
This paper is concerned with delay-dependent exponential stability analysis and stabilization for continuous-time T-S fuzzy Markovian jump systems with mode-dependent time-varying delay. By constructing a novel Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and utilizing some advanced techniques, less conservative conditions are presented to guarantee the closed-loop system is mean-square exponentially stable....
