Modelling the profitability of credit cards by Markov decision processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This paper derives a model for the profitability of credit cards, which allow lenders to find the optimal dynamic credit limit policy. The model is a Markov decision process, where the states of the system are based on the borrower's behavioural score ...

Radio Resource Allocation in 5G-NR V2X: A Multi-Agent Actor-Critic Based Approach

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2023
The efficiency of radio resource allocation and scheduling procedures in Cellular Vehicle-to-X (Cellular V2X) communication networks directly affects link quality in terms of latency and reliability. However, owing to the continuous movement of vehicles,

Learning Evolutionary Stages with Hidden Semi-Markov Model for Predicting Social Unrest Events

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2020
Social unrest events are common happenings in modern society which need to be proactively handled. An effective method is to continuously assess the risk of upcoming social unrest events and predict the likelihood of these events. Our previous work built

QoS Differentiated and Fair Packet Scheduling in Broadband Wireless Access Networks

open access: yesEURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking, 2009
This paper studies the packet scheduling problem in Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) networks. The key difficulties of the BWA scheduling problem lie in the high variability of wireless channel capacity and the unknown model of packet arrival process.

Bridging the Synchrony Gap: A Deterministic GSMDP Approach for Integrating Deep Reinforcement Learning with Commercial Discrete Event Simulators

open access: yesProceedings of the Conference on Production Systems and Logistics
Although Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) offers adaptive control for manufacturing processes, training agents within high-fidelity commercial Discrete Event Simulation (DES) tools is hindered by the temporal mismatch between the continuous-time event ...

Learning to maximize reward rate: a model based on semi-Markov decision processes

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2014
When animals have to make a number of decisions during a limited time interval, they face a fundamental problem: how much time they should spend on each decision in order to achieve the maximum possible total outcome.

Availability analysis of mechanical systems with condition-based maintenance using semi-Markov and evaluation of optimal condition monitoring interval

open access: yesJournal of Industrial Engineering International, 2017
Maintenance helps to extend equipment life by improving its condition and avoiding catastrophic failures. Appropriate model or mechanism is, thus, needed to quantify system availability vis-a-vis a given maintenance strategy, which will assist in ...
