STRUCTURE, BEHAVIOR, AND MARKET POWER IN AN EVOLUTIONARY LABOR MARKET WITH ADAPTIVE SEARCH
Tesfatsion, Leigh - 1999
This study uses an agent-based computational labor market framework to undertake a systematic experimental investigation of the relationship between job capacity, job concentration, and market power. Job capacity is measured by the ratio of total potential job openings to total potential work...

Infinite-horizon policy-gradient estimation
Baxter, J.; Bartlett, P. L. - 2001
Gradient-based approaches to direct policy search in reinforcement learning have received much recent attention as a means to solve problems of partial observability and to avoid some of the problems associated with policy degradation in value-function methods. In this paper we introduce GPOMDP,...

On parameter estimation in population models II: Multi-dimensional processes and transient dynamics
Ross, J. V.; Pagendam, D. E.; Pollett, P. K. - 2009
Recently, a computationally-efficient method was presented for calibrating a wide-class of Markov processes from discrete-sampled abundance data. The method was illustrated with respect to one-dimensional processes and required the assumption of stationarity. Here we demonstrate that the...

Mathematical modeling of diseases to inform health policy
Faissol, Daniel Mello - 2008
In this dissertation we present mathematical models that help answer health policy questions relating to HIV and Hepatitis C (HCV), and analyze bias in Markov models of disease progression. We begin by developing a Markov decision process model that examines the timing of testing and treatment...
