Reinforcement Learning for Cyber-Physical Systems with Cybersecurity Case Studies

Reinforcement Learning for Cyber-Physical Systems with Cybersecurity Case Studies

Reinforcement Learning for Cyber-Physical Systems: with Cybersecurity Case Studies was inspired by recent developments in the fields of reinforcement learning (RL) and cyber-physical systems (CPSs). Rooted in behavioral psychology RL is one of the primary strands of machine learning. Different from other machine learning algorithms such as supervised learning and unsupervised learning the key feature of RL is its unique learning paradigm i. e. trial-and-error. Combined with the deep neural networks deep RL become so powerful that many complicated systems can be automatically managed by AI agents at a superhuman level. On the other hand CPSs are envisioned to revolutionize our society in the near future. Such examples include the emerging smart buildings intelligent transportation and electric grids. However the conventional hand-programming controller in CPSs could neither handle the increasing complexity of the system nor automatically adapt itself to new situations that it has never encountered before. The problem of how to apply the existing deep RL algorithms or develop new RL algorithms to enable the real-time adaptive CPSs remains open. This book aims to establish a linkage between the two domains by systematically introducing RL foundations and algorithms each supported by one or a few state-of-the-art CPS examples to help readers understand the intuition and usefulness of RL techniques. FeaturesIntroduces reinforcement learning including advanced topics in RL Applies reinforcement learning to cyber-physical systems and cybersecurity Contains state-of-the-art examples and exercises in each chapterProvides two cybersecurity case studies Reinforcement Learning for Cyber-Physical Systems with Cybersecurity Case Studies is an ideal text for graduate students or junior/senior undergraduates in the fields of science engineering computer science or applied mathematics. It would also prove useful to researchers and engineers interested in cybersecurity RL and CPS. The only background knowledge required to appreciate the book is a basic knowledge of calculus and probability theory.

Model-Assisted Bayesian Designs for Dose Finding and Optimization Methods and Applications

Model-Assisted Bayesian Designs for Dose Finding and Optimization Methods and Applications

Bayesian adaptive designs provide a critical approach to improve the efficiency and success of drug development that has been embraced by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This is particularly important for early phase trials as they form the basis for the development and success of subsequent phase II and III trials. The objective of this book is to describe the state-of-the-art model-assisted designs to facilitate and accelerate the use of novel adaptive designs for early phase clinical trials. Model-assisted designs possess avant-garde features where superiority meets simplicity. Model-assisted designs enjoy exceptional performance comparable to more complicated model-based adaptive designs yet their decision rules often can be pre-tabulated and included in the protocol—making implementation as simple as conventional algorithm-based designs. An example is the Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) design the first dose-finding design to receive the fit-for-purpose designation from the FDA. This designation underscores the regulatory agency's support of the use of the novel adaptive design to improve drug development. Features Represents the first book to provide comprehensive coverage of model-assisted designs for various types of dose-finding and optimization clinical trials Describes the up-to-date theory and practice for model-assisted designs Presents many practical challenges issues and solutions arising from early-phase clinical trials Illustrates with many real trial applications Offers numerous tips and guidance on designing dose finding and optimization trials Provides step-by-step illustrations of using software to design trials Develops a companion website (www. trialdesign. org) to provide freely available easy-to-use software to assist learning and implementing model-assisted designs Written by internationally recognized research leaders who pioneered model-assisted designs from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center this book shows how model-assisted designs can greatly improve the efficiency and simplify the design conduct and optimization of early-phase dose-finding trials. It should therefore be a very useful practical reference for biostatisticians clinicians working in clinical trials and drug regulatory professionals as well as graduate students of biostatistics. Novel model-assisted designs showcase the new KISS principle: Keep it simple and smart! | Model-Assisted Bayesian Designs for Dose Finding and Optimization Methods and Applications
