The log-likelihood function of threshold vector error correction models is neither differentiable, nor smooth with respect to some parameters. Therefore, it is very difficult to ...
Reliability modeling and evaluation is expected to be one of the major issues in emerging nano-devices and beyond 22nm CMOS. Such devices would have inherent propensity for gate f...
In this paper we present a statistical method for estimating the maximum power consumption in VLSI circuits. The method is based on the theory of extreme order statistics applied ...
We consider the problem of inference from multinomial data with chances θ, subject to the a-priori information that the true parameter vector θ belongs to a known convex polytope...
In our previous work, a precision constrained Gaussian model (PCGM) was proposed for character modeling to design compact recognizers of handwritten Chinese characters. A maximum ...
