It is believed that new types of computing machines will be constructed to exploit quantum mechanics for an exponential speed advantage in solving certain problems compared with classical computers 9.

Coupling-from-the-past (CFTP) methods have been used to generate perfect samples from finite Gibbs hard-sphere models, an important class of spatial point processes consisting of a set of spheres with ...

Bayesian hierarchical modeling is a popular approach to capturing unobserved heterogeneity across individual units. However, standard estimation methods such as Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) can be ...

A look at the Nyquist sampling theorem. How to deal with aliasing by attenuating signals using low-pass filters (i.e., an antialiasing filter, or AAF). AAF requirements for different ADCs. A deep dive ...

In single sampling, a random sample of n items is selected from a lot of size N. If the number d of nonconforming (defective) items found in the sample is less than or equal to an acceptance number c, ...
