Intrusions in Marked Renewal Processes
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a probabilistic model of an intrusion in a marked renewal process. Given a process and a sequence of events, an intrusion is a subsequence of events that is not produced by the process. Applications of the model are, for example, online payment fraud with the fraudster taking over a user’s account and performing payments on the user’s behalf, or unexpected equipment failures due to unintended use. We adopt Bayesian approach to infer the probability of an intrusion in a sequence of events, a MAP subsequence of events constituting the intrusion, and the marginal probability of each event in a sequence to belong to the intrusion. We evaluate the model for intrusion detection on synthetic data, as well as on anonymized data from an online payment system.

Extended Geometric Processes: Semiparametric Estimation and Application to ReliabilityImperfect repair, Markov renewal equation, replacement policy
Lam (2007) introduces a generalization of renewal processes named Geometric processes, where inter-arrival times are independent and identically distributed up to a multiplicative scale parameter, in a geometric fashion. We here envision a more general scaling, not necessar- ily geometric. The corresponding counting process is named Extended Geometric Process (EGP). Semiparametric estimates are...
متن کاملDecomposing the age-related deficit in free recall
The temporal relations among list items exert a powerful influence on episodic memory retrieval. For example, in free recall, participants exhibit marked recency and contiguity effects: temporal proximity of an item to the time of test and temporal proximity of an item to the justrecalled item both serve to promote retrieval. Previous research has focused on the serial position curve as a means...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of the Jump Rate for Non-homogeneous Marked Renewal Processes
This paper is devoted to the nonparametric estimation of the jump rate and the cumulative rate for a general class of non-homogeneous marked renewal processes, defined on a separable metric space. In our framework, the estimation needs only one observation of the process within a long time. Our approach is based on a generalization of the multiplicative intensity model, introduced by Aalen in t...
متن کاملIntrusion Tolerance: Enhancement of Safety in Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is a recent computing model; provides consistent access to wide area distributed resources facing many problems as its usage increases. Enormous loss to both cloud clients as well as cloud service providers happen even with small intrusions. The protection and defense of cloud infrastructure against malicious attacks can be solved by designing ‘intrusion tolerance’. We prove the...
متن کاملNeural network connectivity and response latency modeled by stochastic processes
We propose a multivariate extension of the Stein Leaky Integrate and Fire model to describe the spontaneous activity of a neural network. The model accounts for the existence of inputs shared by groups of neurons and considers the existence of a refractory period following each spike. The dynamics of the network are described through a multivariate process, whose components evolve according to ...
