Discovering and studying emergent phenomena are among the most important activities in social research. Replicating this phenomenon in "the lab" using simulation is an i...
The Chernoff-Hoeffding bounds are fundamental probabilistic tools. An elementary approach is presented to obtain a Chernoff-type upper-tail bound for the number of prime factors o...
The two major Markov Random Fields (MRF) based algorithms for image segmentation are the Simulated Annealing (SA) and Iterated Conditional Modes (ICM). In practice, compared to the...
