Estimation of High Structural Reliability Involving Nonlinear Dependencies Based on Linear Correlations by Liulin Kong, Heng Li, Bo Zhang, Hanbin Luo

“…A sequential search strategy is applied to achieve the estimate of numerous copula parameters, and a simplified algorithm is further designed for reliability involving stationary stochastic processes. The subset simulation is then adopted to efficiently generate random variables from the corresponding distribution for high reliability evaluation. …”

BSL: An R Package for Efficient Parameter Estimation for Simulation-Based Models via Bayesian Synthetic Likelihood by Ziwen An, Leah F. South, Christopher Drovandi

“…Bayesian synthetic likelihood (BSL; Price, Drovandi, Lee, and Nott 2018) is a popular method for estimating the parameter posterior distribution for complex statistical models and stochastic processes that possess a computationally intractable likelihood function. …”

How ants drop out: ant abundance on tropical mountains. by John T Longino, Michael G Branstetter, Robert K Colwell

“…High montane sites may be ephemeral in geological time, resulting in non-interactive communities dominated by historical and stochastic processes. Abundance in these sites may be determined by the number of species that manage to colonize and/or avoid extinction on mountaintops.…”

Determinants and Assembly Mechanism of Bacterial Community Structure in Ningxia Section of the Yellow River by Rui-Zhi Zhao, Wei-Jiang Zhang, Zeng-Feng Zhao, Xiao-Cong Qiu

“…The combined results of the neutral community model and the phylogenetic null model indicate that Bacterial communities in both habitats were mainly affected by stochastic processes, with ecological processes dominated by ecological drift for bacterioplankton and dispersal limitation for sediment bacteria. …”

The structure dilemma in biological and artificial neural networks by Thomas Pircher, Bianca Pircher, Eberhard Schlücker, Andreas Feigenspan

“…Thus, for example, studies have repeatedly shown that the brains of patients suffering from schizophrenia or other diseases have a different connectome compared to healthy people. Apart from stochastic processes, however, an inherent logic describing how neurons connect to each other has not yet been identified. …”

Wavelet Cross-correlation in Bivariate Time-Series Analysis by Eniuce Menezes de Souza, Vinícius Basseto Félix

“…To demonstrate the applicability of this method, we analyze simulated and real time series from different stochastic processes. The results demonstrated that analyses based on the CCF can be misleading; however, WCC can be used to correctly identify the correlation on each scale. …”

Coherent Transfer of Lattice Entropy via Extreme Nonlinear Phononics in Metal Halide Perovskites by Z. Liu, Y. Shi, T. Jiang, L. Luo, C. Huang, M. Mootz, Z. Song, Y. Yan, Y. Yao, J. Zhao, J. Wang

“…The conventional view of this transfer involves stochastic processes occurring within a thermal bath of phonons, where the lattice arrangement and energy flow from higher- to lower-frequency modes. …”

Identificação de classes rítmicas de língua: modelagem de cadeias categorizadas da sonoridade usando árvores probabilísticas Identifying Rhythmic Classes of Languages: Modeling Sym... by JUVÊNCIO NOBRE

“…Based on sonority concept, defined in Galves et al. (2002), and Cassandro et al. (2007), a parametric model for the family of stochastic processes of sonority time evolution for different languages is proposed, denoted by family of tied quantized chains. …”

Local inhibitory networks support up to (N−1)!/ln^{N}2 limit cycles in the presence of electronic noise and heterogeneity by Ashok S. Chauhan, Joseph D. Taylor, Alain Nogaret

“…This occurs as stochastic processes recruit quiescent neurons whose subthreshold periodic oscillations help maintain the synchronization of limit cycles against heterogeneity.…”

Bumblebees acquire alternative puzzle-box solutions via social learning by Alice D. Bridges, HaDi MaBouDi, Olga Procenko, Charlotte Lockwood, Yaseen Mohammed, Amelia Kowalewska, José Eric Romero González, Joseph L. Woodgate, Lars Chittka

“…Additional open diffusion experiments where 2 behavioural variants were initially present in similar proportions ended with a single variant becoming dominant, due to stochastic processes. We discuss whether these results, which replicate those found in primates and birds, might indicate a capacity for culture in bumblebees. …”

A stochastic simulator of a blood product donation environment with demand spikes and supply shocks. by Ming-Wen An, Nicholas G Reich, Stephen O Crawford, Ron Brookmeyer, Thomas A Louis, Kenrad E Nelson

“…Weekly numbers of blood units donated and needed were generated by negative binomial stochastic processes. The simulator allows exploration of the blood system under certain conditions of supply and demand rates, and can be used for planning purposes to prepare for sudden changes in the public's health. …”
