On Combining Graph-based Variance Reduction schemes
In this paper, we consider two variance reduction schemes that exploit the structure of the primal graph of the graphical model: Rao-Blackwellised w-cutset sampling and AND/OR sam...

Randomized algorithms for estimating the trace of an implicit symmetric positive semi-definite matrix
We analyze the convergence of randomized trace estimators. Starting at 1989, several algorithms have been proposed for estimating the trace of a matrix by 1 M M i=1 zT i Azi, where...

Analysis of variance components in gene expression data
Motivation: A microarray experiment is a multi-step process, and each step is a potential source of variation. There are two major sources of variation: biological variation and t...

Using Theorem Proving to Verify Expectation and Variance for Discrete Random Variables
Statistical quantities, such as expectation (mean) and variance, play a vital role in the present age probabilistic analysis. In this paper, we present some formalization of expect...

Job scheduling methods for reducing waiting time variance
Minimizing Waiting Time Variance (WTV) is a job scheduling problem where we schedule a batch of n jobs, for servicing on a single resource, in such a way that the variance of thei...
