controlling a system with minimum information and regardless of dynamic equations which dominate systems is the aim of intelligent control. one of the common approaches for process control is applying shewhart's quality control charts. neuro-fuzzy networks, as one of the branches of artificial intelligence (ai), can play an effective role in the enforcement of process control's common...

In this lecture, recent developments on connections between Markov processes and nonequilibrium statistical mechanical systems are discussed. A statistical mechanical analogy is developed for Markov processes and a local entropic measure of their true asymmetry is defined. Introducing partial observations, conditional and joint analogies are developed for Markov processes and their optimal filt...
