For many probability distributions of interest, it is quite difficult to obtain samples efficiently. Often, Markov chains are employed to obtain approximately random samples fro...
This thesis introduces a model of a random walk on a colored undirected graph. Such a graph has a single vertex set and distinct sets of edges, each of which has a color. A par...
We present a randomized strategy for maintaining balance in dynamically changing search trees that has optimal expected behavior. In particular, in the expected case a search or a...
Results on random oracles typically involve showing that a class {X : P(X)} has Lebesgue measure one, i.e., that some property P(X) holds for “almost every X.” A potentially m...
In this paper we present a study on the Random Forest (RF) family of ensemble methods. From our point of view, a "classical" RF induction process presents two main drawba...
