We consider mixtures of parametric densities on the positive reals with a normalized generalized gamma process (Brix, 1999) as mixing measure. This class of mixtures encompasses t...

We discuss tournaments in terms of their efficiency as probabilistic mechanisms that select high-quality alternatives ("players") in a noisy environment. We use two crit...
The undergraduate process control course and how it is taught is a controversial subject that generates lively discussions among control academicians, control practitioners, and c...

The cross-entropy method (CE) developed by R. Rubinstein is an elegant practical principle for simulating rare events. The method approximates the probability of the rare event by...
The difficulty of efficiently reordering the rules in an Access Control List is considered and the essential optimisation problem formulated. The complexity of exact and sophistic...
