Estimating the Support of a High-Dimensional Distribution
, 1999
"... Suppose you are given some dataset drawn from an underlying probability distribution P and you want to estimate a "simple" subset S of input space such that the probability that a test point drawn from P lies outside of S is bounded by some a priori specified between 0 and 1. We propo ..."

of the weight vector in an associated feature space. The expansion coefficients are found by solving a quadratic programming problem, which we do by carrying out sequential optimization over pairs of input patterns. We also provide a preliminary theoretical analysis of the statistical performance of our
Axiomatic quantum field theory in curved spacetime
, 2008
"... The usual formulations of quantum field theory in Minkowski spacetime make crucial use of features—such as Poincare invariance and the existence of a preferred vacuum state—that are very special to Minkowski spacetime. In order to generalize the formulation of quantum field theory to arbitrary globa ..."

globally hyperbolic curved spacetimes, it is essential that the theory be formulated in an entirely local and covariant manner, without assuming the presence of a preferred state. We propose a new framework for quantum field theory, in which the existence of an Operator Product Expansion (OPE) is elevated
Trade Liberalization, Exit, and Productivity Improvements: Evidence from Chilean Plants
- Review of Economic Studies
, 2002
"... This paper empirically investigates the effects of liberalized trade on plant productivity in the case of Chile. Chile presents an interesting setting to study this relationship since it underwent a massive trade liberalization that significantly exposed its plants to competition from abroad during ..."

in the estimates of the input coefficients required to construct a productivity measure. I explicitly incorporate plant exit in the estimation to correct for the selection problem induced by liquidated plants. These methodological aspects are important in obtaining a reliable plant-level productivity measure based
Analytic Analysis of Algorithms
, 1992
"... . The average case analysis of algorithms can avail itself of the development of synthetic methods in combinatorial enumerations and in asymptotic analysis. Symbolic methods in combinatorial analysis permit to express directly the counting generating functions of wide classes of combinatorial struct ..."

Mixed Logit with Repeated Choices: Households' Choices Of Appliance Efficiency Level
, 1997
"... : Mixed logit models, also called random-parameters or error-components logit, are a generalization of standard logit that do not exhibit the restrictive "independence from irrelevant alternatives" property and explicitly account for correlations in unobserved utility over repeated choices ..."

Implicit Feedback for Inferring User Preference: A Bibliography
, 2003
"... ... In this paper we consider the use of implicit feedback techniques for query expansion and user profiling in information retrieval tasks. These techniques unobtrusively obtain information about users by watching their natural interactions with the system. Some of the user behaviors that have been ..."

Construction of higher order symplectic integrators.
- Phys. Lett. A,
, 1990
"... For Hamiltonian systems of the form H= T(p) + V(q) a method is shown to construct explicit and time reversible symplectic integrators of higher order. For any even order there exists at least one symplectic integrator with exact coefficients. The simplest one is the 4th order integrator which agree ..."

Wavelet Thresholding via a Bayesian Approach
- J. R. STATIST. SOC. B
, 1996
"... We discuss a Bayesian formalism which gives rise to a type of wavelet threshold estimation in non-parametric regression. A prior distribution is imposed on the wavelet coefficients of the unknown response function, designed to capture the sparseness of wavelet expansion common to most applications. ..."

Split States, Entropy Enigmas, Holes and Halos
, 2007
"... We investigate degeneracies of BPS states of D-branes on compact Calabi-Yau manifolds. We develop a factorization formula for BPS indices using attractor flow trees associated to multicentered black hole bound states. This enables us to study background dependence of the BPS spectrum, to compute e ..."
