Examining Criticality of Blackouts in Power System Models with Cascading Events
As power system loading increases, larger blackouts due to cascading outages become more likely. We investigate a critical loading at which the average size of blackouts increases...

A Unified Approach for Finite-Dimensional, Rare-Event Monte Carlo Simulation
We consider the problem of estimating the small probability that a function of a finite number of random variables exceeds a large threshold. Each input random variable may be lig...

Nonparametric Predictive Comparison of Two Groups of Lifetime Data
We present the application of a recently introduced nonparametric predictive inferential method to compare two groups of data, consisting of observed event times and right-censori...

Large deviations and importance sampling for a tandem network with slow-down
We consider a variant of the two node tandem Jackson network where the upstream server reduces its service rate when the downstream queue exceeds some prespecified threshold. The...

Stochastic event capture using mobile sensors subject to a quality metric
Mobile sensors cover more area over a period of time than the same number of stationary sensors. However, the quality of coverage achieved by mobile sensors depends on the velocit...
