Maximum a Posteriori assignment (MAP) is the problem of finding the most probable instantiation of a set of variables given the partial evidence on the other variables in a Bayesi...
We propose dynamical systems trees (DSTs) as a flexible model for describing multiple processes that interact via a hierarchy of aggregating processes. DSTs extend nonlinear dynam...
System reliability has become an increasingly important benchmark in measuring service continuity. As part of many service level agreements, system performance is gauged by how lo...
Recent work has exploited boundedness of data in the unsupervised learning of new types of generative model. For nonnegative data it was recently shown that the maximum-entropy ge...
The regenerative method of simulation output analysis exploits the regenerative structure of a stochastic process to break up a path into independent and identically distributed c...
