Mathematical and computer modelling. Series: Physical and mathematical sciences| Zusammenfassung: | This paper focuses on the in-depth study of a stochastic approximation methodology involving semi-Markov switches in an averaging scheme with a minor parameter. We present a model where perceived objects are impacted by noise variables dependent on the semi-Markov process. The emphasis is on analyzing the convergence and stability of the stochastic approximation process within this context. Theoretical results are presented alongside numeric simulations, demonstrating the practical applications in managing complex stochastic systems. This work opens promising paths for the use of stochastic approximation approaches in the wider field of semi-Markov processes. Recognizing the mutable nature of alcohol consumption and its dependency on a variety of factors, we propose encoding such dynamism within a semi-Markov parameter structure. This model handles the patterns of individual alcohol consumption as a semi-Markov process; the transition probabilities between different states of alcohol consumption are directed by sociodemographic variables that change over time. Our approach, thus, bridges the gap between the realities of ever-changing alcohol consumption trends and static traditional Markov-chain models. By integrating real-world variables into our innovative model, we offer a cutting-edge analytical tool that lays down new paths for understanding and addressing the challenges with alcohol consumption patterns. Further, our insights have the potential to significantly impact the formulation of effective strategies and public health interventions aimed at alcohol-related harm reduction. |
