Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of this Special Issue is to publish original research articles covering advances in the theory of stochastic modeling in phenomena arising from the real world. In this framework, stochastic continuous and discrete time processes will be discussed, as will stochastic optimal controls and computer simulation techniques. All of the above topics are intended to be treated in the spirit of modeling the evolution of stochastic systems of interest in biology, infectious diseases, economics, and other related research fields.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Stochastic processes for economic activity;
  • Stochastic models and analyses for biological systems;
  • Stochastic models and analyses applied to epidemiology;
  • Stochastic computational biology;
  • Stochastic optimal control for biological systems;
  • Parameter estimation and sensitivity analyses of stochastic biological systems.

The Gompertz distribution has proven highly valuable in modeling human mortality rates and assessing the impacts of catastrophic events, such as plagues, financial crashes, and famines. Record data, which capture extreme values and critical trends, are particularly relevant for analyzing such phenomena. In this study, we propose an objective Bayesian framework for estimating the parameters of the Gompertz distribution using record data. We analyze the performance of several objective priors, including the reference prior, Jeffreys’ prior, the maximal data information (MDI) prior, and probability matching priors. The suitability and properties of the resulting posterior distributions are systematically examined for each prior. A detailed simulation study is performed to assess the effectiveness of various estimators based on the performance criteria. To demonstrate the practical application of the methodology, it is applied to a real-world dataset. This study contributes to the field by providing a thorough comparative evaluation of objective priors and showcasing their impact and applicability in parameter estimation for Gompertz distribution based on record values.

This paper analyzes the co-fluctuation between a scalar response random variable and a curve regressor using quantile regression. We focus on the situation wherein the output variable is observed with random missing. For this incomplete functional data situation, we estimate the quantile regression by combining two principal nonparametric methods: the local linearity approach (LLA) and the kernel nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm. We study the asymptotic properties of the constructed estimator by establishing, under general assumptions, uniform consistency over the number of neighborhoods. This asymptotic result provides good mathematical support for the selection of the optimal neighborhood. We examine the feasibility of the constructed estimator using artificially generated data. Moreover, we apply the quantile regression technique in food quality by predicting the riboflavin quantity in yogurt using spectrometry data. Full article

In this study, we explore backward stochastic differential equations driven by a Poisson process and an independent Brownian motion, denoted for short as BSDEJs. The generator exhibits logarithmic growth in both the state variable and the Brownian component while maintaining Lipschitz continuity with respect to the jump component. Our study rigorously establishes the existence and uniqueness of solutions within suitable functional spaces. Additionally, we relax the Lipschitz condition on the Poisson component, permitting the generator to exhibit logarithmic growth with respect to all variables. Taking a step further, we employ an exponential transformation to establish an equivalence between a solution of a BSDEJ exhibiting quadratic growth in the z-variable and a BSDEJ showing a logarithmic growth with respect to y and z.

We study both Malliavin regularity and numerical approximation schemes for a class of quadratic backward stochastic differential equations (QBSDEs for short) in cases where the terminal data need not be a function of a forward diffusion. By using the connection between the QBSDE under study and some backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with global Lipschitz coefficients, we firstly prove Lq, (q2) existence and uniqueness results for QBSDE. Secondly, the Lp-Hölder continuity of the solutions is established for (q>4 and 2p<q2). Then, we analyze some numerical schemes for our systems and establish their rates of convergence. Moreover, our results are illustrated with three examples. Full article
