Measurement, Modeling, and Analysis of a Peer-to-Peer File-Sharing Workload

by Krishna P. Gummadi, Richard J. Dunn, Stefan Saroiu, Steven D. Gribble, Henry M. Levy, John Zahorjan , 2003
"... Peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing accounts for an astonishing volume of current Internet tra#c. This paper probes deeply into modern P2P file sharing systems and the forces that drive them. By doing so, we seek to increase our understanding of P2P file sharing workloads and their implications for futu ..."

A Fast Elitist Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm for Multi-Objective Optimization: NSGA-II

by Kalyanmoy Deb, Samir Agrawal, Amrit Pratap, T Meyarivan , 2000
"... Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms which use non-dominated sorting and sharing have been mainly criticized for their (i) -4 computational complexity (where is the number of objectives and is the population size), (ii) non-elitism approach, and (iii) the need for specifying a sharing ..."

Multivariate adaptive regression splines

by Jerome H. Friedman - The Annals of Statistics , 1991
"... A new method is presented for flexible regression modeling of high dimensional data. The model takes the form of an expansion in product spline basis functions, where the number of basis functions as well as the parameters associated with each one (product degree and knot locations) are automaticall ..."

The SPLASH-2 programs: Characterization and methodological considerations

by Steven Cameron Woo, Moriyoshi Ohara, Evan Torrie, Jaswinder Pal Singh, Anoop Gupta - INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE , 1995
"... The SPLASH-2 suite of parallel applications has recently been released to facilitate the study of centralized and distributed shared-address-space multiprocessors. In this context, this paper has two goals. One is to quantitatively characterize the SPLASH-2 programs in terms of fundamental propertie ..."

Object Recognition from Local Scale-Invariant Features

by David G. Lowe
"... An object recognition system has been developed that uses a new class of local image features. The features are invariant to image scaling, translation, and rotation, and partially invariant to illumination changes and affine or 3D projection. These features share similar properties with neurons in ..."

Testing for Common Trends

by James H. Stock, Mark W. Watson - Journal of the American Statistical Association , 1988
"... Cointegrated multiple time series share at least one common trend. Two tests are developed for the number of common stochastic trends (i.e., for the order of cointegration) in a multiple time series with and without drift. Both tests involve the roots of the ordinary least squares coefficient matrix ..."

Dynamic Tuning of the IEEE 802.11 Protocol to Achieve a Theoretical Throughput Limit

by Frederico Calì, Marco Conti, Enrico Gregori - IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING , 2000
"... In wireless LANs (WLANs), the medium access control (MAC) protocol is the main element that determines the efficiency in sharing the limited communication bandwidth of the wireless channel. In this paper we focus on the efficiency of the IEEE 802.11 standard for WLANs. Specifically, we analytically ..."

A Shared Parameter Model for Longitudinal Data with Missing Values

by Ahmed M Gad , Nesma M M Darwish , 2013
"... Abstract Longitudinal studies represent one of the principal research strategies employed in medical and social research. These studies are the most appropriate for studying individual change over time. The prematurely withdrawal of some subjects from the study (dropout) is termed nonrandom when th ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
the probability of missingness depends on the missing value. Nonrandom dropout is common phenomenon associated with longitudinal data and it complicates statistical inference. The shared parameter model is used to fit longitudinal data in the presence of nonrandom dropout. The stochastic EM algorithm is developed

Modeling Change in the Presence of Nonrandomly Missing Data: Evaluating a Shared Parameter Mixture Model

by Nisha C Gottfredson , Daniel J Bauer , Scott A Baldwin , 2014
"... In longitudinal research, interest often centers on individual trajectories of change over time. When there is missing data, a concern is whether data are systematically missing as a function of the individual trajectories. Such a missing data process, termed random coefficient-dependent missingnes ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
-dependent missingness, is statistically nonignorable and can bias parameter estimates obtained from conventional growth models that assume missing data are missing at random. This article describes a shared parameter mixture model (SPMM) for testing the sensitivity of growth model parameter estimates to a random
