In this paper we process and analyze web search engine query and click data from the perspective of the documents (URL’s) selected. We initially define possible document categor...
Owing to the stochastic nature of discrete processes such as photon counts in imaging, real-world data measurements often exhibit heteroscedastic behavior. In particular, time ser...
