An approximative method for calculating performance measures of Markov processes
We present a new approximation method called value extrapolation for Markov processes with large or infinite state spaces. The method can be applied for calculating any performan...

Statistical Pruning for Near Maximum Likelihood Detection of MIMO Systems
Abstract— We show a statistical pruning approach for maximum likelihood (ML) detection of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. We present a general pruning strategy for...

Large deviations perspective on ordinal optimization of heavy-tailed systems
We consider the problem of selecting the best among several heavy-tailed systems using a large deviations perspective. In contrast to the light-tailed setting studied by Glynn and...
