The maximum rank correlation (MRC) estimator was originally studied by Han [1987. Nonparametric analysis of a generalized regression model. J. Econometrics 35, 303–316] and Sher...
Application layer multicast (ALM) provides a low-cost solution for multicast over the Internet. It overcomes the deployment hurdle of IP multicast by moving all multicast related ...
There is a large literature on the rate of convergence problem for general unconstrained stochastic approximations. Typically, one centers the iterate n about the limit point then...
Importance sampling-based algorithms are a popular alternative when Bayesian network models are too large or too complex for exact algorithms. However, importance sampling is sensi...
This work introduces a general mathematical framework for non-stationary fitness functions which enables the exact definition of certain problem properties. The properties' in...
