EM algorithms of Gaussian mixture model and hidden Markov model
The HMM (Hidden Markov Model) is a probabilistic model of the joint probability of a collection of random variables with both observations and states. The GMM (Gaussian Mixture Mo...

The Swendsen-Wang Process Does Not Always Mix Rapidly
The Swendsen-Wang process provides one possible dynamics for the Qstate Potts model in statistical physics. Computer simulations of this process are widely used to estimate the ex...

High-Dimensional Centrally Symmetric Polytopes with Neighborliness Proportional to Dimension
Let A be a d by n matrix, d < n. Let C be the regular cross polytope (octahedron) in Rn . It has recently been shown that properties of the centrosymmetric polytope P = AC are ...

Polyhedral conditions for the nonexistence of the MLE for hierarchical log-linear models
We provide a polyhedral description of the conditions for the existence of the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) for a hierarchical log-linear model. The MLE exists if and only if...

Exact Simulation of Option Greeks under Stochastic Volatility and Jump Diffusion Models
This paper derives Monte Carlo simulation estimators to compute option price derivatives, i.e., the `Greeks,' under Heston's stochastic volatility model and some variant...
