In this paper we deal with the Wiener–Hermite expansion of a process generated by an Itô stochastic differential equation. The so-called Wiener kernels which appear in the functional series expansion are expressed in terms of the transition probability density function of the process.

AbstractOver the past decade there has been an increasing focus on the application of the Wright-Fisher diffusion to the inference of natural selection from genetic time series. A key ingredient for modelling the trajectory of gene frequencies through the Wright-Fisher diffusion is its transition probability density function. Recent advances in DNA sequencing techniques have made it possible to monitor genomes in great detail over time, which presents opportunities for investigating natural selection while accounting for genetic recombination and local linkage. However, most existing methods for computing the transition probability density function of the Wright-Fisher diffusion are only applicable to one-locus problems. To address two-locus problems, in this work we propose a novel numerical scheme for the Wright-Fisher stochastic differential equation of population dynamics under natural selection at two linked loci. Our key innovation is that we reformulate the stochastic differential equation in a closed form that is amenable to simulation, which enables us to avoid boundary issues and reduce computational costs. We also propose an adaptive importance sampling approach based on the proposal introduced by Fearnhead (2008) for computing the transition probability density of the Wright-Fisher diffusion between any two observed states. We show through extensive simulation studies that our approach can achieve comparable performance to the method of Fearnhead (2008) but can avoid manually tuning the parameter ρ to deliver superior performance for different observed states.

This study proposes a general bivariate stochastic differential equation model of population growth which includes random forces governing the dynamics of the bivariate distribution of size variables. The dynamics of the bivariate probability density function of the size variables in a population are described by the mixed-effect parameters Vasicek, Gompertz, Bertalanffy, and the gamma-type bivariate stochastic differential equations (SDEs). The newly derived bivariate probability density function and its marginal univariate, as well as the conditional univariate function, can be applied for the modeling of population attributes such as the mean value, quantiles, and much more. The models presented here are the basis for further developments toward the tree diameter–height and height–diameter relationships for general purpose in forest management. The present study experimentally confirms the effectiveness of using bivariate SDEs to reconstruct diameter–height and height–diameter relationships by using measurements obtained from mountain pine tree (Pinus mugo Turra) species dataset in Lithuania.

In this paper, the transition probability density functions between response velocity and response displacement in nonlinear vibration systems which have the restoring force characteristic of a cubic equation are governed by the Fokker-Planck Equation. The experimental probability density functions are compared with analytical results. The analytical model of the cubic equation as Duffing Equation is proposed by the restoring force characteristic of the nonlinear vibration system with gaps in the experiments. However, a slight difference for the frequency range of the transfer function was shown by simulation results. Then, it is considered using transition probability density functions in the response characteristic. For stationary random input waves, the probability density function between the response displacement and the response velocity are easily estimated by the Fokker-Planck Equation and the Duffing Equation. The slight difference of the transfer function of the response acceleration is evaluated by the scattering of the restoring force characteristic estimated by the probability density function and self-natural frequency curve. The R.M.S. value and the transfer function of the experimental results are compared with the analytical results. It is thought that the estimation of the probability density function of the response has validity. It is thought that the evaluation of the nonlinear vibration characteristics by the probability density function is valid.
