In the past, two basic approaches for sampling f5-om B+ trees have been suggested: sampling from the ranked trees and acceptance/rejection sampling i?om non-ranked trees. The firs...
Abstract. We present a new method for the fast and robust computation of information theoretic similarity measures for alignment of multi-modality medical images. The proposed meth...

—Characterizing user churn has become an important topic in studying P2P networks, both in theoretical analysis and system design. Recent work [26] has shown that direct sampling...
Many algorithms for independent component analysis (ICA) and blind source separation (BSS) can be considered particular instances of a criterion based on the sum of two terms: C(Y...
We consider the problem of estimating the small probability that a function of a finite number of random variables exceeds a large threshold. Each input random variable may be lig...
