We extend Buja’s concept of “pseudo-capacities”, which comprises the neighbourhood models for classical probabilities commonly used in robust statistics. Although systematic...
The level of security provided by digital rights management functions and cryptographic protocols depend heavily on the security of an embedded secret key. The current practice of...
— This paper presents Natural Evolution Strategies (NES), a novel algorithm for performing real-valued ‘black box’ function optimization: optimizing an unknown objective func...
Consider independent and identically distributed exponential random variables (r.vs) 1, 2, . . . , and positive scalars 1, 2, . . . , . In this letter, we present the probability...
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) try to solve an optimization problem by finding a probability distribution focussed around its optima. For this purpose they conduct ...
