SEMI-MARKOV DECISION PROCESSES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN REPLACEMENT MODELS

Journal of the Operations Research Society of Japan, 1985
We consider the problem of minimizing the long-run average expected cost per unit time in a semi-Markov decision process with arbitrary state and action space. Using the idea of successive approximations, sufficient conditions for the existence of an optimal stationary policy are given.

Mechanistic Learning for Predicting Survival Outcomes in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 540-550, March 2025.
ABSTRACT We employed a mechanistic learning approach, integrating on‐treatment tumor kinetics (TK) modeling with various machine learning (ML) models to address the challenge of predicting post‐progression survival (PPS)—the duration from the time of documented disease progression to death—and overall survival (OS) in Head and Neck Squamous Cell ...

Measured‐State Conditioned Recursive Feasibility for Stochastic Model Predictive Control

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we address the problem of designing stochastic model predictive control (SMPC) schemes for linear systems affected by unbounded disturbances. The contribution of the paper is rooted in a measured‐state initialization strategy. First, due to the nonzero probability of violating chance‐constraints in the case of unbounded noise ...

Nested Selves: Self‐Organization and Shared Markov Blankets in Prenatal Development in Humans

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract The immune system is a central component of organismic function in humans. This paper addresses self‐organization of biological systems in relation to—and nested within—other biological systems in pregnancy. Pregnancy constitutes a fundamental state for human embodiment and a key step in the evolution and conservation of our species. While not

Redefining Optimal Coverage Path Planning for FLS‐Equipped AUVs With Deep Reinforcement Learning

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have emerged as indispensable tools for a variety of subsea tasks, from habitat monitoring and seabed mapping to infrastructure inspection and mine countermeasures. A fundamental challenge in this field is Coverage Path Planning (CPP), the problem of ensuring complete and efficient area coverage.

Data informed performance assessment and structural health monitoring for existing and historical concrete structures

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Our generation inherits this cultural heritage of historic material and historic reinforced concrete structures and thus bears a certain responsibility to preserve these historic buildings with the help of the new technologies of lifetime management, conservation concepts and the new digitalization as well as the emerging safety concepts of ...

DQN‐Guided Subset‐Induced OCSVM Kernel Approximation for Imbalanced Anomaly Detection

IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.
Anomaly detection under limited normal data remains a fundamental challenge due to severe class imbalance and scarcity of anomalies. We propose a novel framework that reformulates support vector selection in One‐Class SVM as a sequential decision‐making problem.

Assessing the utility of autonomous recording units and spring point counts for monitoring abundance of ruffed grouse Bonasa umbellus

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The ruffed grouse Bonasa umbellus is a species of conservation concern that has declined across most of its range. At the southeastern trailing edge of the range in Georgia, grouse are restricted to elevations 600 m a.s.l. and abundance is relatively low.

Estimating crippling loss from hunting with multistate models: a case study on northern bobwhites

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Hunting as a recreational pursuit provides an important ecosystem service worldwide. Harvest management plays a vital role in regulating wildlife take to ensure long‐term population sustainability and meet value‐based objectives (e.g. hunter satisfaction). However, managers rarely have complete control or observability of harvest mortality.
