Abstract

Statistical model checking offers an alternative to traditional model checking for large stochastic systems, addressing state space explosion and approximating quantitative properties. This paper proposes machine learning approaches using decision trees to approximate zero-reachability states, offering both computational efficiency and interpretability. Statistical analysis is used as an alternative approach to establish simulation run length bounds to control computation errors. Experimental results across standard Markov models demonstrate that our decision structures maintain high correctness (99% in most cases), reduce runtime, and have minimal memory overhead. Even when some methods show limitations, alternative approaches within our framework yield effective results.
