Abstract:
The problem of information control systems creation for energy systems and transition to intelligent control and engineering is one of the important problems of reliability and efficiency theory for energy systems. The solution of this problem is possible based on construction of mathematical models concerning different aspects of these systems structure and operation. The possibilities of application of semi-Markov processes with common phase space of states, hidden Markov and semi-Markov models for energy system modeling are considered in the paper.

Abstract:
Discrete time Markov models are used in a wide variety of social sciences. However, these models possess the memoryless property, which makes them less suitable for certain applications. Semi-Markov models allow for more flexible sojourn time distributions, which can accommodate for duration of stay effects. An overview of differences and possible obstacles regarding the use of Markov and semi-Markov models in manpower planning was first given by Valliant and Milkovich (1977). We further elaborate on their insights and introduce hybrid semi-Markov models for open systems with transition-dependent sojourn time distributions. Hybrid semi-Markov models aim to reduce model complexity in terms of the number of parameters to be estimated by only taking into account duration of stay effects for those transitions for which it is useful. Prediction equations for the stock vector are derived and discussed. Furthermore, the insights are illustrated and discussed based on a real world personnel dataset. The hybrid semi-Markov model is compared with the Markov and the semi-Markov models by diverse model selection criteria.

Abstract:
Realistic predictive maintenance approaches are essential for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance of industrial machines. In this work, we propose Hidden Semi-Markov Models (HSMMs) with (i) no constraints on the state duration density function and (ii) being applied to continuous or discrete observation. To deal with such a type of HSMM, we also propose modifications to the learning, inference, and prediction algorithms. Finally, automatic model selection has been made possible using the Akaike Information Criterion. This paper describes the theoretical formalization of the model as well as several experiments performed on simulated and real data with the aim of methodology validation. In all performed experiments, the model is able to correctly estimate the current state and to effectively predict the time to a predefined event with a low overall average absolute error. As a consequence, its applicability to real world settings can be beneficial, especially where in real time the Remaining Useful Lifetime (RUL) of the machine is calculated.

Abstract:
We consider an absorbing semi-Markov chain for which each time absorption occurs there is a resetting of the chain according to some initial (replacement) distribution. The new process is a semi-Markov replacement chain and we study its properties in terms of those of the imbedded Markov replacement chain. A time-dependent version of the model is also defined and analysed asymptotically for two types of environmental behaviour, i.e. either convergent or cyclic. The results contribute to the control theory of semi-Markov chains and extend in a natural manner a wide variety of applied probability models. An application to the modelling of populations with semi-Markovian replacements is also presented.

Abstract:
We derive a tight perturbation bound for hidden Markov models. Using this bound, we show that, in many cases, the distribution of a hidden Markov model is considerably more sensitive to perturbations in the emission probabilities than to perturbations in the transition probability matrix and the initial distribution of the underlying Markov chain. Our approach can also be used to assess the sensitivity of other stochastic models, such as mixture processes and semi-Markov processes.

Abstract:
Semi-Markov Models of Safety of the Renewal Systems Operation Usually, the renewal systems are mathematically described by the alternating renewal process, which is special case of the semi-Markov process. It allows us to find the basic reliability characteristics like the renewal function, the operational availability of the system and many other. Many papers are devoted to that problem. Very often the operation of the system is perturbed by the danger events. The operation process of the system is broken or stopped. In that case we can say that the unsafety event occurred. Semi-Markov model of the safety of operation is constructed in this paper. The safety characteristics of the system operation are calculated by using the properties of the semi-Markov processes.

Abstract:
We address the problem of finding a natural continuous time Markov type process—in open populations—that best captures the information provided by an open Markov chain in discrete time which is usually the sole possible observation from data. Given the open discrete time Markov chain, we single out two main approaches: In the first one, we consider a calibration procedure of a continuous time Markov process using a transition matrix of a discrete time Markov chain and we show that, when the discrete time transition matrix is embeddable in a continuous time one, the calibration problem has optimal solutions. In the second approach, we consider semi-Markov processes—and open Markov schemes—and we propose a direct extension from the discrete time theory to the continuous time one by using a known structure representation result for semi-Markov processes that decomposes the process as a sum of terms given by the products of the random variables of a discrete time Markov chain by time functions built from an adequate increasing sequence of stopping times.

Compartmental models for which transfer from one compartment to another takes a non-negligible time have been studied in the deterministic case. These models rely on the use of differential equations with delayed arguments. In this paper we show how the well-known structure of the semi-Markov process can be used to analyse stochastic compartmental models with transfer delays. Evaluation of the limiting behavior is much simpler in the stochastic model than in previous deterministic formulations. In addition, time-dependent behavior can be analysed using numerical quadrature methods.

Full text
Abstract:
The paper proposes a hidden semi-Markov model for breakpoint rainfall data that consist of both the times at which rain-rate changes and the steady rates between such changes. The model builds on and extends the seminal work of Ferguson (1980) on variable duration models for speech. For the rainfall data the observations are modelled as mixtures of log-normal distributions within unobserved states where the states evolve in time according to a semi-Markov process. For the latter, parametric forms need to be specified for the state transition probabilities and dwell-time distributions. Recursions for constructing the likelihood are developed and the EM algorithm used to fit the parameters of the model. The choice of dwell-time distribution is discussed with a mixture of distributions over disjoint domains providing a flexible alternative. The methods are also extended to deal with censored data. An application of the model to a large-scale bivariate dataset of breakpoint rainfall measurements at Wellington, New Zealand, is discussed.
