Automated resource-driven mission phasing techniques for constrained agents
A constrained agent is limited in the actions that it can take at any given time, and a challenging problem is to design policies for such agents to do the best they can despite t...

On the approximate domain optimization of deterministic and expected value criteria
— We define the concept of approximate domain optimizer for deterministic and expected value optimization criteria. Roughly speaking, a candidate optimizer is an approximate dom...

Cross-Entropy Optimization of Control Policies With Adaptive Basis Functions
—This paper introduces an algorithm for direct search of control policies in continuous-state discrete-action Markov decision processes. The algorithm looks for the best closed-l...

A Bayesian method for calculating real-time quantitative PCR calibration curves using absolute plasmid DNA standards
Background: In real-time quantitative PCR studies using absolute plasmid DNA standards, a calibration curve is developed to estimate an unknown DNA concentration. However, potenti...
