We study the problem of simultaneously estimating several densities where the datasets are organized into overlapping groups, such as a hierarchy. For this problem, we propose a m...

In this paper, we present a novel entropy estimator for a given set of samples drawn from an unknown probability density function (PDF). Counter to other entropy estimators, the e...

Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDA) are similar to genetic algorithms except that they replace crossover and mutation with sampling from an estimated probability distributi...
