The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Identification of firefighting strategies (i.e., which endangered units to suppress or cool first) in chemical and process plants falls under the domain of multi‐objective decision‐making (MODM), where not only the safety and integrity of the affected process plant but also the safety of on‐site and off‐site vulnerable targets matter.

A hidden Markov model and reinforcement learning‐based strategy for fault‐tolerant control
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract This study introduces a data‐driven control strategy integrating hidden Markov models (HMM) and reinforcement learning (RL) to achieve resilient, fault‐tolerant operation against persistent disturbances in nonlinear chemical processes. Called hidden Markov model and reinforcement learning (HMMRL), this strategy is evaluated in two case studies

Portfolio optimization by applying Markov chains [PDF]
Anali Ekonomskog fakulteta u Subotici, 2018 Since one of the main problems in today's economy is 'conquering the market' or, in other words, finding the best way to predict price movements and receive expected rates of return, this paper will deal with the portfolio optimization in the Belgrade ...

Restricted Tweedie stochastic block models
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract The stochastic block model (SBM) is a widely used framework for community detection in networks, where the network structure is typically represented by an adjacency matrix. However, conventional SBMs are not directly applicable to an adjacency matrix that consists of nonnegative zero‐inflated continuous edge weights.

Hidden Markov graphical models with state‐dependent generalized hyperbolic distributions
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract In this article, we develop a novel hidden Markov graphical model to investigate time‐varying interconnectedness between different financial markets. To identify conditional correlation structures under varying market conditions and accommodate shape features embedded in financial time series, we rely upon the generalized hyperbolic family of ...

Products of stochastic matrices and applications
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1989 This paper deals with aspects of the limit behaviour of products of nonidentical finite or countable stochastic matrices (Pn). Applications are given to nonhomogeneous Markov models as positive chains, some classes of finite chains considered by Doeblin ...

A Markov approach to credit rating migration conditional on economic states
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract We develop a model for credit rating migration that accounts for the impact of economic state fluctuations on default probabilities. The joint process for the economic state and the rating is modelled as a time‐homogeneous Markov chain. While the rating process itself possesses the Markov property only under restrictive conditions, methods ...

Bayesian clustering of multivariate extremes
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract The asymptotic dependence structure between multivariate extreme values is fully characterized by their projections on the unit simplex. Under mild conditions, the only constraint on the resulting distributions is that their marginal means must be equal, which results in a nonparametric model that can be difficult to use in applications ...

Causal analysis of extreme risk in a network of industry portfolios
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract We provide a detailed review of causal dependence within the framework of max‐linear structural models. Such models express each node variable as a max‐linear function of its parental node variables in a directed acyclic graph (DAG) and some exogenous innovation.

Stagewise crop yield prediction with multisource functional indices
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Index insurance design involves integrating weather data, soil moisture, phenology information, and satellite imagery, which presents challenges in data fusion. This article addresses the modelling of multisource functional indices of varying lengths by constructing a stagewise ensemble of sequential models.
