: The advantage of the multicanonical (MUCA) simulation method of Berg and coworkers over the conventional Metropolis method is in its ability to move a system effectively across e...
Abstract. Ordinal Optimization has emerged as an efficient technique for simulation and optimization. Exponential convergence rates can be achieved in many cases. In this paper, we...
Background: In the context of genomic association studies, for which a large number of statistical tests are performed simultaneously, the local False Discovery Rate (lFDR), which...
Background: Causal networks based on the vector autoregressive (VAR) process are a promising statistical tool for modeling regulatory interactions in a cell. However, learning the...
We are interested in computing tail probabilities for the maxima of Gaussian random fields. In this paper, we discuss two special cases: random fields defined over a finite number...
