The problem of making sequential decisions in unknown probabilistic environments is studied. In cycle t action yt results in perception xt and reward rt, where all quantities in g...
Abstract. Suppose that geographic data under investigation are rates associated with polygons. For example, disease incidence, mortality, and census undercount data may be displaye...
Abstract. We perform a smoothed analysis of the condition number of rectangular matrices. We prove that, asymptotically, the expected value of this condition number depends only of...
In this paper, we present the first average-case analysis proving an expected polynomial running time for an exact algorithm for the 0/1 knapsack problem. In particular, we prove,...
Generative models of pattern individuality attempt to learn the distribution of observed quantitative features to determine the probability of two random patterns being the same. ...
