Point estimates of the parameters in real world models convey valuable information about the actual system. However, parameter comparisons and/or statistical inference requires de...
We propose a novel approach to shape-based image retrieval that builds upon a similarity criterion which is based on the average point set distance. Compared to traditional techni...
— Many deterministic algorithms in the context of constrained optimization require the first-order derivatives, or the gradient vectors, of the objective and constraint function...

We present discrete stochastic mathematical models for the growth curves of synchronous and asynchronous evolutionary algorithms with populations structured according to a random ...

Agents often have to construct plans that obey resource limits for continuous resources whose consumption can only be characterized by probability distributions. While Markov Deci...
