In comparative genomics, one wishes to deduce the evolutionary distance between dierent species by studying their genomes. Using gene order information, we seek the number of time...
We describe an algorithm for estimating the number of page fetches for a partial or complete scan of a B-tree index. The algorithm obtains estimates for the number of page fetches ...
The Gaussian kernel density estimator is known to have substantial problems for bounded random variables with high density at the boundaries. For i.i.d. data several solutions hav...
This paper examines a weighted version of the quantile regression estimator defined by Koenker and Bassett (1978), adjusted to the case of nonlinear longitudinal data. Different w...
This paper presents fast and reliable condition estimates for the roots of a real polynomial based on the method of statistical condition estimation (SCE) by Kenney and Laub. Using...
