A new stochastic method for locating the global minimum of a multidimensional function inside a rectangular hyperbox is presented. A sampling technique is employed that makes use ...
Abstract— Previous work has introduced probability distributions as first-class components in uncertain stream database systems. A lacking element is the fact of how accurate the...
Abstract-- the paper presents a possibility formulation of oneparameter estimation that unifies some usual probability formulations. Point and confidence interval estimation are un...
We investigate the distribution functions and the moments of the so-called Choquet integral, also known as the Lov´asz extension, when regarded as a real function of a random sam...
