The present work addresses the question how sampling algorithms for commonly applied copula models can be adapted to account for quasi-random numbers. Besides sampling methods such as the conditional distribution method (based on a one-to-one transformatio ...
We consider the problem of estimating the underlying graph associated with a Markov random field, with the added twist that the decoding algorithm can iteratively choose which subsets of nodes to sample based on the previous samples, resulting in an active ...
How does the streamwater quality change during storm events, and how to characterize it? The purpose of this study is to investigate the evolution of major ions in streamwater from base ow to storm ux. Regular manual sampling and automated sampling campaig ...
We consider the problem of sampling at unknown locations. We prove that, in this setting, if we take arbitrarily many samples of a polynomial or real bandlimited signal, it is possible to find another function in the same class, arbitrarily far away from t ...
Weighted least squares polynomial approximation uses random samples to determine projections of functions onto spaces of polynomials. It has been shown that, using an optimal distribution of sample locations, the number of samples required to achieve quasi ...
In vitro estrogen receptor transactivation assays (ERTAs) are increasingly used to measure the overall estrogenic activity of environmental water samples, which may serve as an indicator of exposure of fish or other aquatic organisms to (xeno)estrogens. An ...
We analyze the accuracy of the discrete least-squares approximation of a function u in multivariate polynomial spaces PΛ:=span{y↦yν:ν∈Λ} with Λ⊂N0d over the domain Γ:=[−1,1]d, based on the s ...
In empirical risk optimization, it has been observed that gradient descent implementations that rely on random reshuffling of the data achieve better performance than implementations that rely on sampling the data randomly and independently of each other. ...
We address the problem of learning a ranking by using adaptively chosen pairwise comparisons. Our goal is to recover the ranking accurately but to sample the comparisons sparingly. If all comparison outcomes are consistent with the ranking, the optimal sol ...
