We consider discrete stochastic optimization problems where the objective function can only be estimated by a simulation oracle; the oracle is defined only at the discrete points....
This paper presents an efficient method to compute the maximum likelihood (ML) estimation of the parameters of a complex 2-D sinusoidal, with the complexity order of the FFT. The...
Copulas have attracted much attention in spatial statistics over the past few years. They are used as a flexible alternative to traditional methods for nonGaussian spatial modelin...
We consider derivative free methods based on sampling approaches for nonlinear optimization problems where derivatives of the objective function are not available and cannot be dir...
Block coders are among the most common compression tools available for still images and video sequences. Their low computational complexity along with their good performance make ...
