Abstract. Mutual Information (MI) is a powerful concept from information theory used in many application fields. For practical tasks it is often necessary to estimate the Mutual In...

We develop a penalized kernel smoothing method for the problem of selecting nonzero elements of the conditional precision matrix, known as conditional covariance selection. This p...
We use convex relaxation techniques to produce lower bounds on the optimal value of subset selection problems and generate good approximate solutions. We then explicitly bound the...

The Nature Reserve Selection Problem is a problem that arises in the context of studying biodiversity conservation. Subject to budgetary constraints, the problem is to select a set...
This article gives ideas for developing statistics software which can work without user intervention. Some popular methods of bandwidth selection for kernel density estimation (the...
