The so-called noise-component has been introduced by Banfield and Raftery (1993) to improve the robustness of cluster analysis based on the normal mixture model. The idea is to ad...
We study the classic problem of estimating the sum of n variables. The traditional uniform sampling approach requires a linear number of samples to provide any non-trivial guarante...
Abstract. We are interested in efficient algorithms for generating random samples from geometric objects such as Riemannian manifolds. As a step in this direction, we consider the ...
ACT This works considers the problem of efficient energy allocation of resources in a continuous fashion in determining the location of targets in a sparse environment. We extend ...
We address the problem of deciding uniformly for graphs or languages of a given class whether they are generated by unlabelled Place-Transition nets whose sets of reachable marking...
