The likelihood models used in probabilistic visual tracking applications are often complex non-linear and/or nonGaussian functions, leading to analytically intractable inference. ...
Background: Inference of population stratification and individual admixture from genetic markers is an integrative part of a study in diverse situations, such as association mappi...
The responsiveness of networked applications is limited by communications delays, making network distance an important parameter in optimizing the choice of communications peers. S...
This paper develops rare event simulation methods for the estimation of portfolio credit risk -- the risk of losses to a portfolio resulting from defaults of assets in the portfol...
Lossless condensers are unbalanced expander graphs, with expansion close to optimal. Equivalently, they may be viewed as functions that use a short random seed to map a source on ...
