Background: The general problem of RNA secondary structure prediction under the widely used thermodynamic model is known to be NP-complete when the structures considered include a...
We consider the problem of processing a given number of tasks on a given number of processors as quickly as possible when only vague information about the processing time of a task...
When constructing a classifier, the probability of correct classification of future data points should be maximized. We consider a binary classification problem where the mean and...
