Stroke, 2007 See related article, pages 2864–2868. In this issue of Stroke , Kleindorfer and colleagues1 report on a chart review comparing the traditional 5 “sudden” warning signs of stroke and the FAST system. FAST is based on the Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale (CPSS) and focuses on 3 symptoms: facial droop (F), arm drift (A) and speech problems (S), with “

2011 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory Proceedings, 2011 We are interested in the following question: given n numbers x[subscript 1], ..., x[subscript n], what sorts of approximation of average x[subscript ave] = 1overn (x[subscript 1] + ... + x[subscript n]) can be achieved by knowing only r of these n numbers. Indeed the answer depends on the variation in these n numbers.

Proceedings of the 50th Annual ACM SIGACT Symposium on Theory of Computing, 2018 We consider very natural "fence enclosure" problems studied by Capoyleas, Rote, and Woeginger and Arkin, Khuller, and Mitchell in the early 90s. Given a set $S$ of $n$ points in the plane, we aim at finding a set of closed curves such that (1) each point is enclosed by a curve and (2) the total length of the curves is minimized.

FAST—Fast Algorithm for the Scenario Technique
Operations Research, 2014 The scenario approach is a recently introduced method to obtain feasible solutions to chance-constrained optimization problems based on random sampling. It has been noted that the sample complexity of the scenario approach rapidly increases with the number of optimization variables and this may pose a hurdle to its applicability to medium- and large ...
