In this work, we discuss practical methods for the assessment, comparison, and selection of complex hierarchical Bayesian models. A natural way to assess the goodness of the model...
A nonparametric version of the basis pursuit method is developed for field estimation. The underlying model entails known bases, weighted by generic functions to be estimated fro...
Physical database design is critical to the performance of a large-scale DBMS. The corresponding automated design tuning tools need to select the best physical design from a large...
We give a permutation approach to validation (estimation of out-sample error). One typical use of validation is model selection. We establish the legitimacy of the proposed permut...
In this paper, the task of selecting the optimal subset of pronunciation variants from a set of automatically generated candidates is recast as a tree search problem. In this appr...
