Credit risk analysis for portfolios containing CDO tranches is a challenging task for risk managers. We propose here a basis function approach for CDO tranche valuation and portfo...
In the past two decades, the simulated annealing technique has been considered as a powerful approach to handle many NP-hard optimization problems in VLSI designs. Recently, a new...

We present an efficient optimization scheme for gate sizing in the presence of process variations. Our method is a worst-case design scheme, but it reduces the pessimism involved i...

We investigate the problem of deriving precision estimates for bootstrap quantities. The one major stipulation is that no further bootstrapping will be allowed. In 1992, Efron der...
Slice sampling provides an easily implemented method for constructing a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm. However, slice sampling has two major drawbacks: (i) it requires...
