| Abstract | to specialize the general idea underlying this family of derivative estimators to the various classes of stochastic processes This paper discusses likelihood ratio derivative estimadescribed above. tion techniques for stochastic systems. After a brief review of the basic concepts, likelihood ratio derivative estimators 2. LIKELIHOOD RATIO DERIVATIVE are presented for the following classes of stochastic processes: time homogeneous discrete-time Markov chains, non-time hoESTIMATION mogeneous discretetime Markov chains, time komogeneous In this section, we provide a brief introduction to the continuouts-time Markov chains, semi-Markov processes, nontimehomogeneouscontinuous-time Mi, arkov pchns, ngnbasic ideas that underlie likelihood ratio derivative estimatime homogeneous continuous-time Markov chains, and generalized serni-Markv processes. ,1" tion.
