Lifetime Security Improvement in Wireless Sensor Network Using Queue-Based Techniques
A wireless sensor network (WSN) is envisioned as a cluster of tiny power-constrained devices with functions of sensing and communications. Sensors closer to a sink node have a larg...

Accurate statistics for local sequence alignment with position-dependent scoring by rare-event sampling
Background: Molecular database search tools need statistical models to assess the significance for the resulting hits. In the classical approach one asks the question how probable...

Fast global convergence of gradient methods for high-dimensional statistical recovery
Many statistical M-estimators are based on convex optimization problems formed by the weighted sum of a loss function with a norm-based regularizer. We analyze the convergence rat...

The double CFTP method
We consider the problem of the exact simulation of random variables Z that satisfy the distributional identity Z L = V Y + (1 − V )Z, where V ∈ [0, 1] and Y are independent, an...
