Roadmap

Separate sub and proper stochastic processes

Goal: Construct correctly stochastic and sub-stochastic process in different structs.

Current implementation: Sub-stochastic process for all structs.

Options:

  • Needs:
    • Exact transitions

Implement Distribution

Goal: Random processes are also source of random transitions, therefore, we should be able to sample transitions.

Current implementation: None

Options:

  • rand_distr::Distribution

Differentiate Markov Chains in continuous space

Goal: Easier and checkable implementation of continuous space markov processes by using randomness from the chain to simulate the next step.

Current implementation: Random transition function that leads a vector of one element.

Options:

  • Needs
    • random generator choice.

Sample trajectory

Goal: Random processes are also source of random trajectories. Therefore, we should be able to sample them.

Current implementation: None

Options:

  • method sample_trajectory
    • sample_trajectory_iter as in rand_distr::Distribution

Random generator choice

Goal: Include random generator to the construction step.

Current implementation: New standard sampler for each step simulation.

Options:

  • rand

Exact transitions

Goal: Integration with some crate for creation of a correct (sub-)distribution for each step.

Current implementation: f64 for probabilities and there is no correctness check.

Options:

  • Rational numbers
  • statrs
  • rand_distr
  • probability
