Since the transient state can be seen as an stochastic (trial-and-error) search for a collision free schedule, setting can be intuitively interpreted as reducing the time between trials which results in a faster search.
For our argument, it does not matter if the gradient-based strategy was realized through stochastic trial-and-error or more refined approaches involving analytic estimates of the gradient, as long as it involved an unbiased estimate of the gradient.
A within-trial stochastic cost-utility analysis was undertaken using Monte-Carlo simulation.
To address this question we asked if the hand speed variability could be modeled as a stochastic process where each trial speed depended on the speed of the previous trial.
In general, beneficial trials were projected when the mutation rate decreased from baseline upon selenium supplementation, with variation due to the stochastic nature of the trial simulations.
In this case, for a neuron that fires with Poisson statistics according to a stochastic rate in each trial, the Fano factor will be larger than 1 (i.e. it is a doubly stochastic process).
As they do not include any stochastic component, they cannot simulate trial-to-trial variability.
The model was stochastic in that binomial trials governed the random outcomes of host survival and reproduction, transmission, movement between disease classes, and prion survival.
Each newborn is assigned two parents, selected in proportion to their gonad size through a stochastic process of Bernoulli trials.
See Davis and Hardy [ 26] and Lan et al. [ 27] for information about applications of stochastic curtailment to clinical trials, as well as theoretical results.
Maturation is modeled as a stochastic process of Bernoulli trials, and takes place if a number randomly drawn from a uniform distribution between 0 and 1 is smaller than p i, t).
