      Algebraic solution of the Stein-Stein model for stochastic volatility 

      Sophocleous, Christodoulos; O'Hara, John G.; Leach, Peter G. L. (2011)
      We provide an algebraic approach to the solution of the Stein-Stein model for stochastic volatility which arises in the determination of the Radon-Nikodym density of the minimal entropy of the martingale measure. We extend ...

      General non-stationary models for short-term and long-term fading channels 

      Charalambous, Charalambos D.; Menemenlis, N. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2000)
      This paper discusses the use of stochastic differential equations to model signal envelope variations over large areas, which are subject to long-term fading effects from the transmitter to local areas, followed by short-term ...

      Measuring the impact of adversarial errors on packet scheduling strategies 

      Fernández Anta, Antonio; Georgiou, Chryssis; Kowalski, D. R.; Widmer, J.; Zavou, Elli (2013)
      In this paper we explore the problem of achieving efficient packet transmission over unreliable links with worst case occurrence of errors. In such a setup, even an omniscient offline scheduling strategy cannot achieve ...

      Modelling precipitation in Sweden using multiple step markov chains and a composite model 

      Lennartsson, J.; Baxevani, Anastassia; Chen, D. (2008)
      In this paper, we propose a new method for modelling precipitation in Sweden. We consider a chain dependent stochastic model that consists of a component that models the probability of occurrence of precipitation at a ...

      On distributional properties and goodness-of-fit tests for generalized measures of divergence 

      Karagrigoriou, Alex; Mattheou, K. (2010)
      The aim of this work is the investigation of a generalized family of measures of divergence which includes the well-known Csiszár's, Cressie and Read's, and the Basu-Harris-Hjort-Jones (Basu et al., 1998) measures. A weakly ...

      On semi-markov modelling and inference for multi-state systems 

      Barbu, Vlad Stefan; Karagrigoriou, Alex; Makrides, Andreas (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016)
      In this work we focus on multi state systems that we model by means of semi-Markov processes. The sojourn times are seen to be independent not identically distributed random variables and assumed to belong to a general ...

      Probability of error bounds for failure diagnosis and classification in hidden Markov models 

      Athanasopoulou, E.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2008)
      In this paper we consider a formulation of the failure diagnosis problem in stochastic systems as a maximum likelihood classification problem: a diagnoser observes the system under diagnosis online and determines which ...

      A spatiotemporal precipitation generator based on a censored latent Gaussian field 

      Baxevani, Anastassia; Lennartsson, J. (2015)
      A daily stochastic spatiotemporal precipitation generator that yields precipitation realizations that are quantitatively consistent is described. The methodology relies on a latent Gaussian field that drives both the ...

      Statistical inference for multi-state reliability systems 

      Makrides, Andreas S. (Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου, Σχολή Θετικών και Εφαρμοσμένων Επιστημών / University of Cyprus, Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences, 2017-01)
      Η παρούσα διατριβή θα επικεντρωθεί σε multi-state systems (MSS) τα οποία μοντελοποιούμε με τη βοήθεια των ημιμαρκοβιανών διαδικασιών. Για το λόγο αυτό, οι ημιμαρκοβιανές διαδικασίες είναι καταλληλότερες σε μελέτες αξιοπιστίας ...

      Stochastic power control for time-varying flat fading wireless channels 

      Olama, M. M.; Shajaat, S. M.; Djouadi, S. M.; Charalambous, Charalambos D. (2005)
      The performance of stochastic optimal power control of time-varying wireless short-term flat fading channels, in which the evolution of the dynamical channel is described by a stochastic state space representation, is ...

      Symmetry analysis of a model of stochastic volatility with time-dependent parameters 

      Sophocleous, Christodoulos; O'Hara, John G.; Leach, Peter G. L. (2011)
      We provide the solutions for the Heston model of stochastic volatility when the parameters of the model are constant and when they are functions of time. In the former case, the solution follows immediately from the ...
