Optimal solutions to Markov Decision Problems (MDPs) are very sensitive with respect to the state transition probabilities. In many practical problems, the estimation of those pro...
We present a two-step method for identifying SISO Hammerstein systems. First, using a persistent input with retrospective cost optimization, we estimate a parametric model of the l...

This paper deals with estimating small tail probabilities of the steady-state waiting time in a GI/GI/1 queue with heavy-tailed (subexponential) service times. The problem of esti...
Due to the structural heterogeneity of XML, queries are often interpreted approximately. This is achieved by relaxing the query and ranking the results based on their relevance to ...
