The sequential parameter optimization (spot) package for R (R Development Core Team, 2008) is a toolbox for tuning and understanding simulation and optimization algorithms. Model-...
The huge size of online social networks (OSNs) makes it prohibitively expensive to precisely measure any properties which require the knowledge of the entire graph. To estimate the...
This work deals with trajectory optimization for a network of robotic sensors sampling a spatio-temporal random field. We examine the problem of minimizing over the space of networ...
In this paper we consider the generation of discrete white noise. Despite this seems to be a simple problem, common noise generator implementations do not deliver comparable resul...
Maximum likelihood estimators are often of limited practical use due to the intensive computation they require. We propose a family of alternative estimators that maximize a stoch...
