Variational Bayesian Approach for Interval Estimation of NHPP-Based Software Reliability Models
In this paper, we present a variational Bayesian (VB) approach to computing the interval estimates for nonhomogeneous Poisson process (NHPP) software reliability models. This appr...

Variational capacitance modeling using orthogonal polynomial method
In this paper, we propose a novel statistical capacitance extraction method for interconnects considering process variations. The new method, called statCap, is based on the spect...

High-temperature Expansions for Learning Models of Nonnegative Data
Recent work has exploited boundedness of data in the unsupervised learning of new types of generative model. For nonnegative data it was recently shown that the maximum-entropy ge...

Statistical Analysis of Power Grid Networks Considering Lognormal Leakage Current Variations with Spatial Correlation
— As the technology scales into 90nm and below, process-induced variations become more pronounced. In this paper, we propose an efficient stochastic method for analyzing the vol...

Variance Reduction Techniques for Gradient Estimates in Reinforcement Learning
Policy gradient methods for reinforcement learning avoid some of the undesirable properties of the value function approaches, such as policy degradation (Baxter and Bartlett, 2001...
