The problem of counting specified combinations of a given set of variables arises in many statistical and data mining applications. To solve this problem, we introduce the PDtree...

A Quasi-Monte-Carlo method based on the computation of a surrogate model of the fitness function is proposed, and its convergence at super-linear rate 3/2 is proved under rather ...
Given a set of n randomly drawn sample points, spectral clustering in its simplest form uses the second eigenvector of the graph Laplacian matrix, constructed on the similarity gra...

We report a study to determine the impact of four types of disturbances on the failure intensity of a software product undergoing system test. Hardware failures, discovery of a cr...
Actor-critic algorithms for reinforcement learning are achieving renewed popularity due to their good convergence properties in situations where other approaches often fail (e.g.,...
