Causal Dependence Tree Approximations of Joint Distributions for Multiple Random Processes
—We investigate approximating joint distributions of random processes with causal dependence tree distributions. Such distributions are particularly useful in providing parsimoni...

On the advantage over a random assignment
: We initiate the study of a new measure of approximation. This measure compares the performance of an approximation algorithm to the random assignment algorithm. This is a useful ...

Adaptive Stochastic Manpower Scheduling
Bayesian forecasting models provide distributional estimates for random parameters, and relative to classical schemes, have the advantage that they can rapidly capture changes in ...

Inferential Performance Assessment of Stochastic Optimisers and the Attainment Function
Abstract The performance of stochastic optimisers can be assessed experimentally on given problems by performing multiple optimisation runs, and analysing the results. Since an opt...

Stochastic optimization based on the Laplace transform order with applications to precoder designs
Stochastic optimization arising from precoding in a multi-antenna fading channel with channel mean feedback to maximize data rates is important but challenging. The use of relayin...
