Image restoration from degraded images lies at the foundation of image processing, pattern recognition, and computer vision, so it has been extensively studied. A large number of ...
We study a sequential variance reduction technique for Monte Carlo estimation of functionals in Markov Chains. The method is based on designing sequential control variates using s...
Let X be a non-negative random variable and let the conditional distribution of a random variable Y , given X, be Poisson(γ · X), for a parameter γ ≥ 0. We identify a natural...
