Cluster Identification in Nearest-Neighbor Graphs
Abstract. Assume we are given a sample of points from some underlying distribution which contains several distinct clusters. Our goal is to construct a neighborhood graph on the sa...

On Calibration Error of Randomized Forecasting Algorithms
It has been recently shown that calibration with an error less than ∆ > 0 is almost surely guaranteed with a randomized forecasting algorithm, where forecasts are obtained by...
