Testing for uniformity of multivariate data is the initial step in exploratory pattern analysis. We propose a new uniformity testing method, which first computes the maximum (sta...
Abstract. We present a solution to the problem of performing approximate pattern matching on compressed text. The format we choose is the Ziv-Lempel family, speci cally the LZ78 an...
