Task Interrupted By A Poisson Process, Jarrett Christopher Nantais
Task Interrupted By A Poisson Process, Jarrett Christopher Nantais
Major Papers
We consider a task which has a completion time T (if not interrupted), which is a random variable with probability density function (pdf) f(t), t>0. Before it is complete, the task may be interrupted by a Poisson process with rate lambda. If that happens, then the task must begin again, with the same completion time random variable T, but with a potentially different realization. These interruptions can reoccur, until eventually the task is finished, with a total time of W. In this paper, we will find the Laplace Transform of W in several special cases.

Modern Statistics has entered the era of Big Data, wherein data sets are too large, high-dimensional, incomplete and complex for most classical statistical methods. This analysis of Big data firstly focuses on missing data. We compare different multiple imputation methods. Combining the characteristics of medical high-throughput experiments, we compared multivariate imputation by chained equations (MICE), missing forest (missForest), as well as self-training selection (STS) methods. A phenotypic data set of common lung disease was assessed. Moreover, in terms of improving the interpretability and predictability of the model, variable selection plays a pivotal role in the following analysis. Taking the Lasso-Poisson …
