A Higher Categories Approach for Stochastic Modelling of Biological Processes
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a new way in which to model biological processes using graphical inputs and outputs. This method is grounded in higher category theory and can be viewed as an extension of the popular Petri net approach for biological modelling. We implement a stochastic process algorithm in globular, a rewriting program for higher categories. We use this to model a basic viral invasion process, following the membrane operations of the brane calculi of Luca Cardelli. Comparisons with the standard non-spatial modelling framework motivate a new chemical kinetics model for biochemical processes. Two potential kinetics models are proposed and discussed in detail.

Application of Stochastic Optimal Control, Game Theory and Information Fusion for Cyber Defense Modelling
The present paper addresses an effective cyber defense model by applying information fusion based game theoretical approaches. In the present paper, we are trying to improve previous models by applying stochastic optimal control and robust optimization techniques. Jump processes are applied to model different and complex situations in cyber games. Applying jump processes we propose some m...
متن کاملModelling and Decision-making on Deteriorating Production Systems using Stochastic Dynamic Programming Approach
This study aimed at presenting a method for formulating optimal production, repair and replacement policies. The system was based on the production rate of defective parts and machine repairs and then was set up to optimize maintenance activities and related costs. The machine is either repaired or replaced. The machine is changed completely in the replacement process, but the productio...
متن کاملConfidence Interval Estimation of the Mean of Stationary Stochastic Processes: a Comparison of Batch Means and Weighted Batch Means Approach (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Suppose that we have one run of n observations of a stochastic process by means of computer simulation and would like to construct a condifence interval for the steady-state mean of the process. Seeking for independent observations, so that the classical statistical methods could be applied, we can divide the n observations into k batches of length m (n= k.m) or alternatively, transform the cor...
متن کاملA Statistical Study of two Diffusion Processes on Torus and Their Applications
Diffusion Processes such as Brownian motions and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes are the classes of stochastic processes that have been investigated by researchers in various disciplines including biological sciences. It is usually assumed that the outcomes of these processes are laid on the Euclidean spaces. However, some data in physical, chemical and biological phenomena indicate that they cann...
متن کاملMonthly runoff forecasting by means of artificial neural networks (ANNs)
Over the last decade or so, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become one of the most promising tools formodelling hydrological processes such as rainfall runoff processes. However, the employment of a single model doesnot seem to be an appropriate approach for modelling such a complex, nonlinear, and discontinuous process thatvaries in space and time. For this reason, this study aims at de...
