Background: Both somatic copy number alterations (CNAs) and germline copy number variants (CNVs) that are prevalent in healthy individuals can appear as recurrent changes in compa...
The Chernoff-Hoeffding bounds are fundamental probabilistic tools. An elementary approach is presented to obtain a Chernoff-type upper-tail bound for the number of prime factors o...
Abstract. This paper studies the expressive power of finite-state automata recognizing sets of real numbers encoded positionally. It is known that the sets that are definable in th...
A succinct series expression is derived for describing the limit distribution of the number of times r consecutive elements are all records (in a sequence of independent and ident...
Recently, Chen et al. proposed a method for compressing color-quantized images that is based on a binary tree representation of colors and on context-based arithmetic coding with ...
