SNP allelic copy number data provides intensity measurements for the two different alleles separately. We present a method that estimates the number of copies of each allele at each SNP position, using a continuous-index hidden Markov model. The method is especially suited for cancer data, since it includes the fraction of normal tissue contamination, often present when studying data from cancer tumors, into the model. The continuous-index structure takes into account the distances between the SNPs, and is thereby appropriate also when SNPs are unequally spaced. In a simulation study we show that the method performs favorably compared to previous methods even with as much as 70% normal contamination. We also provide results from applications to clinical data produced using the Affymetrix genome-wide SNP 6.0 platform.

Conditions are given for which the Markov jump process describing the stochastic model of chemical reactions with diffusion converges to the solution of the corresponding deterministic reaction–diffusion equation.

We consider storage models where the input rate and the demand are modulated by a Markov jump process. One particular example from teletraffic theory is a fluid model of a multiplexer loaded by exponential on-off sources. Although the storage level process has been widely studied, little attention has been paid to the output rate process. We will show that, under certain assumptions, there exists another Markov jump process that modulates the output rate. The modulating process is explicitly constructed. It turns out to be a modification of a GI/G/1 queueing process
