Exact Enumeration and Sampling of Matrices with Specified Margins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We describe a dynamic programming algorithm for exact counting and exact uniform sampling of matrices with specified row and column sums. The algorithm runs in polynomial time when the column sums are bounded.

A Bayesian approach to the probability of coronary heart disease subject to the --308 tumor necrosis factor-$\alpha$ SNP

open access: yes, 2011
We study the correlation of the occurrence of coronary heart disease (CHD) with the presence of the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at the -308 position of the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-$\alpha$) gene.

A Multi-Scan Labeled Random Finite Set Model for Multi-object State Estimation

open access: yes, 2018
State space models in which the system state is a finite set--called the multi-object state--have generated considerable interest in recent years. Smoothing for state space models provides better estimation performance than filtering by using the full ...

How to Integrate a Polynomial over a Simplex

open access: yes, 2008
This paper settles the computational complexity of the problem of integrating a polynomial function f over a rational simplex. We prove that the problem is NP-hard for arbitrary polynomials via a generalization of a theorem of Motzkin and Straus.

Practical bounds on the error of Bayesian posterior approximations: A nonasymptotic approach

open access: yes, 2018
Bayesian inference typically requires the computation of an approximation to the posterior distribution. An important requirement for an approximate Bayesian inference algorithm is to output high-accuracy posterior mean and uncertainty estimates ...

Predictive Entropy Search for Bayesian optimization with unknown constraints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Unknown constraints arise in many types of expensive black-box optimization problems. Several methods have been proposed recently for performing Bayesian optimization with constraints, based on the expected improvement (EI) heuristic.
