In this paper, the idea of random selection in the theorem on gambling system is extended to Markov chains, by using the notion likelihood ratio and an analytic technique. A strong limit theorem on the relative frequency of ordered couple under random selection is established.AMS Subject Classification (2001)

In this paper, we derive a stochastic model for the HIV epidemic in homosexual populations involving age and race. To account for effects of different mixing patterns, a low risk selection rule is introduced. The model is then formulated in terms of chain multinomial distributions by means of which the means are derived. Some simulation studies by computer indicate clearly that age and race have a significant impact on the HIV epidemic. 相似文献
This paper introduces a new approach for generating school bus routes in a dense urban area. First, a districting algorithm is used to determine clusters including appropriate numbers of students. Then, for each cluster, a route and the stops along this route are determined. Numerical results are reported and compared with those obtained previously. Although the algorithm has been developped and tested in a specific context, it could easily be extended to more general vehicle routing problems. 相似文献
A model for polar filaments interacting via molecular motor complexes is investigated which exhibits bifurcations to spatial
patterns. It is shown that the homogeneous distribution of filaments, such as actin or microtubules, may become either unstable
with respect to an orientational instability of a finite wave number or with respect to modulations of the filament density,
where long-wavelength modes are amplified as well. Above threshold nonlinear interactions select either stripe patterns or
periodic asters. The existence and stability ranges of each pattern close to threshold are predicted in terms of a weakly
nonlinear perturbation analysis, which is confirmed by numerical simulations of the basic model equations. The two relevant
parameters determining the bifurcation scenario of the model can be related to the concentrations of the active molecular
motors and of the filaments, respectively, which both could be easily regulated by the cell. 相似文献
In this paper we consider a problem of distance selection in the arrangement of hyperplanes induced by n given points. Given a set of n points in d-dimensional space and a number k,
, determine the hyperplane that is spanned by d points and at distance ranked by k from the origin. For the planar case we present an O(nlog2n) runtime algorithm using parametric search partly different from the usual approach [N. Megiddo, J. ACM 30 (1983) 852]. We establish a connection between this problem in 3-d and the well-known 3SUM problem using an auxiliary problem of counting the number of vertices in the arrangement of n planes that lie between two sheets of a hyperboloid. We show that the 3-d problem is almost 3SUM-hard and solve it by an O(n2log2n) runtime algorithm. We generalize these results to the d-dimensional (d4) space and consider also a problem of enumerating distances. 相似文献
It is becoming increasingly common in quantitative structure/activity relationship (QSAR) analyses to use external test sets to evaluate the likely stability and predictivity of the models obtained. In some cases, such as those involving variable selection, an internal test set – i.e., a cross-validation set – is also used. Care is sometimes taken to ensure that the subsets used exhibit response and/or property distributions similar to those of the data set as a whole, but more often the individual observations are simply assigned `at random.' In the special case of MLR without variable selection, it can be analytically demonstrated that this strategy is inferior to others. Most particularly, D-optimal design performs better if the form of the regression equation is known and the variables involved are well behaved. This report introduces an alternative, non-parametric approach termed `boosted leave-many-out' (boosted LMO) cross-validation. In this method, relatively small training sets are chosen by applying optimizable k-dissimilarity selection (OptiSim) using a small subsample size (k = 4, in this case), with the unselected observations being reserved as a test set for the corresponding reduced model. Predictive errors for the full model are then estimated by aggregating results over several such analyses. The countervailing effects of training and test set size, diversity, and representativeness on PLS model statistics are described for CoMFA analysis of a large data set of COX2 inhibitors. 相似文献
For nonautonomous dynamical systems, the principle of inheriting local properties by global Poincaré maps is developed. Using this method, a selection criterion for systems of close competitors is found: to gain competitive advantage, it suffices to outproduce other populations with a margin. The margin factor in question remains uniformly bounded as the number of competitors in the community grows. 相似文献
In this paper, we introduce a new class of vector quasi-equilibrium problems with set-valued maps. Almost all the vector equilibrium models of the Blum-Oettli type in the literature are special cases of our new class of equilibrium problems under consideration. Moreover, a number of C-diagonal quasiconvexity properties are proposed for set-valued maps, which are natural generalizations of the -diagonal quasiconvexity for real functions. Together with an application of continuous selection and fixed-point theorems, these conditions enable us to prove unified existence results of solutions for such vector equilibrium problems. 相似文献
A theorem of M. F. Driscoll says that, under certain restrictions, the probability that a given Gaussian process has its sample paths almost surely in a given reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) is either or . Driscoll also found a necessary and sufficient condition for that probability to be .
Doing away with Driscoll's restrictions, R. Fortet generalized his condition and named it nuclear dominance. He stated a theorem claiming nuclear dominance to be necessary and sufficient for the existence of a process (not necessarily Gaussian) having its sample paths in a given RKHS. This theorem - specifically the necessity of the condition - turns out to be incorrect, as we will show via counterexamples. On the other hand, a weaker sufficient condition is available.
Using Fortet's tools along with some new ones, we correct Fortet's theorem and then find the generalization of Driscoll's result. The key idea is that of a random element in a RKHS whose values are sample paths of a stochastic process. As in Fortet's work, we make almost no assumptions about the reproducing kernels we use, and we demonstrate the extent to which one may dispense with the Gaussian assumption.
We prove that the trace of the space to an arbitrary closed subset is characterized by the following ``finiteness' property. A function belongs to the trace space if and only if the restriction to an arbitrary subset consisting of at most can be extended to a function such that
The constant is sharp.
The proof is based on a Lipschitz selection result which is interesting in its own right.
