  • We propose a new approach to the stochastic version of Lanchester model. Commonly used approach to stochastic Lanchester model is through the Markov-chain method. The Markov-chain approach, however, is not appropriate to high dimensional heterogeneous force case because of large computational cost. In this paper, we propose an approximation method of stochastic Lanchester model. By matching the first and the second moments, the distribution of each unit strength can be approximated with multivariate normal distribution. We evaluate an approximation of discrete Markov-chain model by measuring Kullback-Leibler divergence. We confirmed high accuracy of approximation method, and also the accuracy and low computational cost are maintained under high dimensional heterogeneous force case.

  • This paper proposes an efficient method for improving the training performance of the neural network by using a hybrid of a stochastic approximation and a backpropagation algorithm. The proposed method improves the performance of the training by appliying a global optimization method which is a hybrid of a stochastic approximation and a backpropagation algorithm. The approximate initial point for a stochastic approximation and a backpropagation algorihtm. The approximate initial point for fast global optimization is estimated first by applying the stochastic approximation, and then the backpropagation algorithm, which is the fast gradient descent method, is applied for a high speed global optimization. And further speed-up of training is made possible by adjusting the training parameters of each of the output and the hidden layer adaptively to the standard deviation of the neuron output of each layer. The proposed method has been applied to the parity checking and the pattern classification, and the simulation results show that the performance of the proposed method is superior to that of the backpropagation, the Baba's MROM, and the Sun's method with randomized initial point settings. The results of adaptive adjusting of the training parameters show that the proposed method further improves the convergence speed about 20% in training.

  • In this paper, a two-parameter version of Ikeda-Watanabe's mollifiers approximation of the Brownian motion is considered, and an approximation theorem corresponding to the one parameter case is proved. Using this approximation, we formulate Wong-Zakai type theorem is a Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) driven by a two-parameter Wiener process.

  • The moment closure method is an approximation method to compute the moments for stochastic models of chemical reaction systems. In this paper, we develop an analytic estimation of errors generated from the approximation of an infinite system of differential equations into a finite system truncated by the moment closure method. As an example, we apply the result to an essential bimolecular reaction system, the dimerization model.

  • We consider two estimators of the infection rate in the simple stochastic epidemic model. It is shown that the maximum likelihood estimator of teh infection rate under the discrete time observation does not have the moment of any positive order. Some properties of the Choi-Severo estimator, an approximation to the maximum likelihood estimator, are also investigated.
