In the social and behavioral sciences, it is recommended that effect sizes and their sampling variances be reported. Formulas for common effect sizes such as standardized and raw mean differences, ...

Monte Carlo Simulations take the spotlight when we discuss the photorealistic rendering of natural images. Photorealistic rendering, or, in layman’s words, creating indistinguishable “clones” of ...

Abstract: The problem of tracking targets precisely is important both in military and civilian applications. There are different approaches to tracking targets precisely. Particle filters have been ...

Many techniques in survey sampling depend on the possession of information about an auxiliary variable x, or a vector of auxiliary variables, available for the entire population. Regression estimates ...

The problem of estimating the variance of the ratio estimator in sampling with probability proportional to aggregate size is investigated. The form of nonnegative ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with quantifying shift-variance of linear systems with continuous-time input and discrete-time output. We first introduce a notion of -shift-invariance for the system ...

A new data selection strategy guided by the Variance Promotion Score (VPS). VAS combines outcome variance and trajectory diversity to promote reward variance, stabilize policy optimization, and ...
