— Many distributed multiple access (MAC) protocols use an exponential backoff mechanism. In that mechanism, a node picks a random backoff time uniformly in an interval that doubl...
Copulas are used in finance and insurance for modeling stochastic dependency. They comprehend the entire dependence structure, not only the correlations. Here they are estimated ...
This paper discusses a Genetic Algorithm-based method of generating test vectorsfor detecting faults in combinational circuits. The GA-based approach combines the merits of two te...
We generalize the DEnv (Distribution envelope determination) method for bounding the result of arithmetic operations on random variables with unknown dependence to higher-dimension...
—We propose a general synchronous model of lattice random fields which could be used similarly to Gibbs distributions in a Bayesian framework for image analysis, leading to algor...
