— Imputation of missing data is important in many areas, such as reducing non-response bias in surveys and maintaining medical documentation. Estimating the uncertainty inherent ...
Purpose: To provide a critical review of Bergman’s 2001 study on the Deep Web. In addition, we bring a new concept into the discussion, the Academic Invisible Web (AIW). We defi...
For a discrete-time finite-state Markov chain, we develop an adaptive importance sampling scheme to estimate the expected total cost before hitting a set of terminal states. This s...
Ridge regression is a well established method to shrink regression parameters towards zero, thereby securing existence of estimates. The present paper investigates several approac...
We advance new active object recognition algorithms that classify rigid objects and estimate their pose from intensity images. Our algorithms automatically detect if the class or p...
