Variable Selection via Nonconcave Penalized Likelihood and its Oracle Properties
, 2001
"... Variable selection is fundamental to high-dimensional statistical modeling, including nonparametric regression. Many approaches in use are stepwise selection procedures, which can be computationally expensive and ignore stochastic errors in the variable selection process. In this article, penalized ..."

of the proposed penalized likelihood estimators are established. Furthermore, with proper choice of regularization parameters, we show that the proposed estimators perform as well as the oracle procedure in variable selection; namely, they work as well as if the correct submodel were known. Our simulation shows
A Scalable Content-Addressable Network
- IN PROC. ACM SIGCOMM 2001
, 2001
"... Hash tables – which map “keys ” onto “values” – are an essential building block in modern software systems. We believe a similar functionality would be equally valuable to large distributed systems. In this paper, we introduce the concept of a Content-Addressable Network (CAN) as a distributed infra ..."

infrastructure that provides hash table-like functionality on Internet-like scales. The CAN is scalable, fault-tolerant and completely self-organizing, and we demonstrate its scalability, robustness and low-latency properties through simulation.
Initial Conditions and Moment Restrictions in Dynamic Panel Data Models
- Journal of Econometrics
, 1998
"... Estimation of the dynamic error components model is considered using two alternative linear estimators that are designed to improve the properties of the standard firstdifferenced GMM estimator. Both estimators require restrictions on the initial conditions process. Asymptotic efficiency comparisons ..."

A new learning algorithm for blind signal separation
-
, 1996
"... A new on-line learning algorithm which minimizes a statistical de-pendency among outputs is derived for blind separation of mixed signals. The dependency is measured by the average mutual in-formation (MI) of the outputs. The source signals and the mixing matrix are unknown except for the number of ..."

of the sources. The Gram-Charlier expansion instead of the Edgeworth expansion is used in evaluating the MI. The natural gradient approach is used to minimize the MI. A novel activation function is proposed for the on-line learning algorithm which has an equivariant property and is easily implemented on a neural
UPPAAL in a Nutshell
, 1997
"... . This paper presents the overall structure, the design criteria, and the main features of the tool box Uppaal. It gives a detailed user guide which describes how to use the various tools of Uppaal version 2.02 to construct abstract models of a real-time system, to simulate its dynamical behavior, ..."

Scalable Application Layer Multicast
, 2002
"... We describe a new scalable application-layer multicast protocol, specifically designed for low-bandwidth, data streaming applications with large receiver sets. Our scheme is based upon a hierarchical clustering of the application-layer multicast peers and can support a number of different data deliv ..."

Our results show that for groups of size 32 or more, our protocol has lower link stress (by about 25%), improved or similar
Probabilistic Routing in Intermittently Connected Networks
- SIGMOBILE Mobile Computing and Communication Review
, 2004
"... In this paper, we address the problem of routing in intermittently connected networks. In such networks there is no guarantee that a fully connected path between source and destination exists at any time, rendering traditional routing protocols unable to deliver messages between hosts. There does ..."

. There does, however, exist a number of scenarios where connectivity is intermittent, but where the possibility of communication still is desirable. Thus, there is a need for a way to route through networks with these properties. We propose PROPHET, a probabilistic routing protocol for intermittently
Regression Shrinkage and Selection Via the Lasso
- JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL STATISTICAL SOCIETY, SERIES B
, 1994
"... We propose a new method for estimation in linear models. The "lasso" minimizes the residual sum of squares subject to the sum of the absolute value of the coefficients being less than a constant. Because of the nature of this constraint it tends to produce some coefficients that are exactl ..."

It produces interpretable models like subset selection and exhibits the stability of ridge regression. There is also
SCRIBE: A large-scale and decentralized application-level multicast infrastructure
- IEEE JOURNAL ON SELECTED AREAS IN COMMUNICATIONS (JSAC
, 2002
"... This paper presents Scribe, a scalable application-level multicast infrastructure. Scribe supports large numbers of groups, with a potentially large number of members per group. Scribe is built on top of Pastry, a generic peer-to-peer object location and routing substrate overlayed on the Internet, ..."

, and leverages Pastry's reliability, self-organization, and locality properties. Pastry is used to create and manage groups and to build efficient multicast trees for the dissemination of messages to each group. Scribe provides best-effort reliability guarantees, but we outline how an application can extend
On Power-Law Relationships of the Internet Topology
- IN SIGCOMM
, 1999
"... Despite the apparent randomness of the Internet, we discover some surprisingly simple power-laws of the Internet topology. These power-laws hold for three snapshots of the Internet, between November 1997 and December 1998, despite a 45% growth of its size during that period. We show that our power-l ..."

The power-laws describe concisely skewed distributions of graph properties such as the node outdegree. In addition, these power-laws can
