Inferring models, predicting the future, and estimating the entropy rate of discrete-time, discrete-event processes is well-worn ground. However, a much broader class of discrete-event processes operates in continuous-time. Here, we provide new methods for inferring, predicting, and estimating them. The methods rely on an extension of Bayesian structural inference that takes advantage of neural network's universal approximation power. Based on experiments with complex synthetic data, the methods are competitive with the state-of-the-art for prediction and entropy-rate estimation.

This paper mainly focuses on investigating the discrete event dynamic decision-making process with two noncooperative intelligent agents, defined as event dynamic games (EDGs). We introduce a novel state space model and analyze the existence of its equilibrium solution. Additionally, we apply principles of network evolution to address the challenge of event dynamic game network modeling.

Background: Fast treatment is crucial for ischemic stroke patients; the probability of good patient outcomes increases with faster treatment. Treatment times can be improved by making changes to the treatment process. However, it is challenging to identify the benefits of changes prior to implementation.

Department of Community Health Sciences, Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, 3280 Hospital Drive NW, Calgary, AB, T2N 4Z6, Canada.
Background: Patients with suspected rare diseases often experience lengthy and uncertain diagnostic pathways. This study aimed to estimate the cost-effectiveness of exome sequencing (ES) in different positions in the diagnostic pathway for patients suspected of having a rare genetic disease.
Methods: Data collected retrospectively from 305 patients suspected of having a rare genetic disease (RGD), who received clinical-grade ES and participated in the Canadian multicentre Care4Rare-SOLVE study, informed a discrete event simulation of the diagnostic pathway.
Discrete Event System Specification for IoT Applications.
Sensors (Basel)
December 2024
Systems and Computer Engineering, Carleton University, Ottawa, ON K1S 5B6, Canada.
The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a transformative technology with a variety of applications across various industries. However, the development of IoT systems is hindered by challenges such as interoperability, system complexity, and the need for streamlined development and maintenance processes. In this study, we introduce a robust architecture grounded in discrete event system specification (DEVS) as a model-driven development solution to overcome these obstacles.
