We develop and analyze an algorithm for nonparametric estimation of divergence functionals and the density ratio of two probability distributions. Our method is based on a variati...

Locking and timestamping are two popular approaches to concurrency control in databases systems. Although more than a dozen analytic performance studies of locking techniques have...
This paper is concerned with estimating the effects of actions from causal assumptions, represented concisely as a directed graph, and statistical knowledge, given as a probabilit...
—We obtain detailed analytic formulas for the density and probability distribution of the waiting time in a time-division multiple-access (TDMA) model with a finite buffer and s...
