The maximum rank correlation (MRC) estimator was originally studied by Han [1987. Nonparametric analysis of a generalized regression model. J. Econometrics 35, 303–316] and Sher...
Abstract--A class of distortions termed functional Bregman divergences is defined, which includes squared error and relative entropy. A functional Bregman divergence acts on functi...
Recently, Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) has become a popular approach for intelligent play in games. Amongst others, it is successfully used in most state-of-the-art Go programs....
