A Unifying Theory of Aging and Mortality
Valentin Flietner, Bernd Heidergott, Frank den Hollander +3
In this paper, we advance the network theory of aging and mortality by developing a causal mathematical model for the mortality rate. First, we show that in large networks, where h…
Feature-Based Network Construction: From Sampling to What-if Analysis
Christian Franssen, Joost Berkhout, Bernd Heidergott
Networks are characterized by structural features, such as degree distribution, triangular closures, and assortativity. This paper addresses the problem of reconstructing instances…
A Pseudo-Gradient Approach for Model-free Markov Chain Optimization
Nanne A. Dieleman, Joost Berkhout, Bernd Heidergott
We develop a first-order (pseudo-)gradient approach for optimizing functions over the stationary distribution of discrete-time Markov chains (DTMC). We give insights into why solvi…
