Identification of stochastic systems with random parameters with particular reference to the recirculating lymphocytes in the immune system

Creator:

Farooqi, Zarreen H. H.

Abstract:

This thesis is composed of four parts: i) system description, ii) model development, iii) parameter estimation, and iv) validation. The natural system used here is an aspect of the immune system, namely, the distribution of recirculating lymphocytes in various organs throughout the body. This distribution gains importance because: i) it...

Observability and information structure of nonlinear systems

Creator:

Hwang, Chun Sik

Abstract:

An observability problem for both deterministic and stochastic systems is studied here. Deterministic observability is a determination of whether every state of the system is connected to the observation mechanism and how it is connected, if connected. On the other hand, stochastic observability discusses the "tightness" of the connection in...
