In wireless channels, the path loss exponent (PLE) has a strong impact on the quality of the links, and hence, it needs to be accurately estimated for the efficient design and oper...
In this work we report on data gathered via a deployment of a monitoring and benchmarking infrastructure on two production grid platforms, TeraGrid and Geon. Our result show that t...
The Bayes factor is a useful tool for evaluating sets of inequality and about equality constrained models. In the approach described, the Bayes factor for a constrained model with...
Abstract This paper introduces cost curves, a graphical technique for visualizing the performance (error rate or expected cost) of 2-class classifiers over the full range of possib...
Importance sampling is used in this paper to address the classical yet important problem of performance estimation of block codes. Simulation distributions that comprise discretean...
