Loop Series and Bethe Variational Bounds in Attractive Graphical Models
Variational methods are frequently used to approximate or bound the partition or likelihood function of a Markov random field. Methods based on mean field theory are guaranteed ...

Combinatorial changes of euclidean minimum spanning tree of moving points in the plane
In this paper, we enumerate the number of combinatorial changes of the the Euclidean minimum spanning tree (EMST) of a set of n moving points in 2dimensional space. We assume that...

Tight Bounds for Wavelength Assignment on Trees of Rings
: A fundamental problem in communication networks is wavelength assignment (WA): given a set of routing paths on a network, assign a wavelength to each path such that the paths wit...

Polyhedral conditions for the nonexistence of the MLE for hierarchical log-linear models
We provide a polyhedral description of the conditions for the existence of the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) for a hierarchical log-linear model. The MLE exists if and only if...

How Many Bootstrap Replicates Are Necessary?
Phylogenetic Bootstrapping (BS) is a standard technique for inferring confidence values on phylogenetic trees that is based on reconstructing many trees from minor variations of th...
