In this note, we address the theoretical properties of p, a class of compressed sensing decoders that rely on p minimization with p (0, 1) to recover estimates of sparse and compr...
nical Abstract Optimization is to find the "best" solution to a problem where the quality of a solution can be measured by a given criterion. Estimation of Distribution A...
We consider the problem of efficient estimation of first passage time probabilities for a multidimensional random walk with t distributed increments, via simulation. In addition...
: Cost-based optimizers in relational databases make use of data statistics to estimate intermediate result cardinalities. Those cardinalities are needed to estimate access plan co...
Many database applications have the emerging need to support fuzzy queries that ask for strings that are similar to a given string, such as “name similar to smith” and “tele...
