The average-case complexity of counting distinct elements
We continue the study of approximating the number of distinct elements in a data stream of length n to within a (1? ) factor. It is known that if the stream may consist of arbitra...

DieHard: probabilistic memory safety for unsafe languages
Applications written in unsafe languages like C and C++ are vulnerable to memory errors such as buffer overflows, dangling pointers, and reads of uninitialized data. Such errors ...

Greedy Heuristics and an Evolutionary Algorithm for the Bounded-Diameter Minimum Spanning Tree Problem
Given a connected, weighted, undirected graph G and a bound D, the bounded-diameter minimum spanning tree problem seeks a spanning tree on G of lowest weight in which no path betw...

Modelling p-value distributions to improve theme-driven survival analysis of cancer transcriptome datasets
Background: Theme-driven cancer survival studies address whether the expression signature of genes related to a biological process can predict patient survival time. Although this...
