摘要
Using a birth and death process as an illustrative example, we introduce the notion of alternative representations of stochastic processes. We discuss its importance for infinitesimal perturbation analysis derivative estimation. Through a different choice of representation, we are led to an infinitesimal perturbation analysis (IPA) algorithm for a birth and death process better than one discussed by other authors.
