Approximation of Discrete Phase-Type Distributions
The analysis of discrete stochastic models such as generally distributed stochastic Petri nets can be done using state space-based methods. The behavior of the model is described ...

Sequence Discrimination Using Phase-Type Distributions
Abstract We propose in this paper a novel approach to the classification of discrete sequences. This approach builds a model fitting some dynamical features deduced from the learni...

Solving Generalized Semi-Markov Decision Processes Using Continuous Phase-Type Distributions
We introduce the generalized semi-Markov decision process (GSMDP) as an extension of continuous-time MDPs and semi-Markov decision processes (SMDPs) for modeling stochastic decisi...

A Phase-Type Representation for the Queue Length Distribution of a Semi-Markovian Queue
Abstract--In this paper we study a broad class of semiMarkovian queues introduced by Sengupta. This class contains many classical queues such as the GI/M/1 queue, SM/MAP/1 queue an...

Approximating discrete probability distributions with causal dependence trees
Abstract--Chow and Liu considered the problem of approximating discrete joint distributions with dependence tree distributions where the goodness of the approximations were measure...
