Age of Information Minimization for Radio Frequency Energy-Harvesting Cognitive Radio Networks
The Age of Information (AoI) measures the freshness of information and is a critic performance metric for time-sensitive applications. In this paper, we consider a radio frequency energy-harvesting cognitive radio network, where the secondary user ...

Does the Markov Decision Process Fit the Data: Testing for the Markov Property in Sequential Decision Making [PDF]
The Markov assumption (MA) is fundamental to the empirical validity of reinforcement learning. In this paper, we propose a novel Forward-Backward Learning procedure to test MA in sequential decision making. The proposed test does not assume any parametric form on the joint distribution of the observed data and plays an important role for identifying ...

Decentralized control of partially observable Markov decision processes [PDF]
Markov decision processes (MDPs) are often used to model sequential decision problems involving uncertainty under the assumption of centralized control. However, many large, distributed systems do not permit centralized control due to communication limitations (such as cost, latency or corruption).

Monte-Carlo-based partially observable Markov decision process approximations for adaptive sensing
Adaptive sensing involves actively managing sensor resources to achieve a sensing task, such as object detection, classification, and tracking, and represents a promising direction for new applications of discrete event system methods.

Reflections on Bayesian inference and Markov chain Monte Carlo
Abstract Bayesian inference and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods are vigorous areas of statistical research. Here we reflect on some recent developments and future directions in these fields. Résumé L'inférence bayésienne et les méthodes de Monte‐Carlo par chaîne de Markov sont des domaines dynamiques de la recherche statistique.

DPImpute is a two‐step pipeline that outperforms existing tools in whole‐genome SNP imputation, particularly under conditions of ultra‐low coverage sequencing, small sample sizes, and limited references. It enables precise imputation for single blastocyst cells, supporting genomic selection at the pre‐implantation stage.

Canadian contributions to environmetrics
Abstract This article focuses on the importance of collaboration in statistics by Canadian researchers and highlights the contributions that Canadian statisticians have made to many research areas in environmetrics. We provide a discussion about different vehicles that have been developed for collaboration by Canadians in the environmetrics context as ...

On Biologically Inspired Stochastic Reinforcement Deep Learning: A Case Study on Visual Surveillance
Here, we present a biologically inspired visual network (BIVnet) for image processing tasks. The proposed model possesses similarities with its neural counterpart and is trained by a stochastic algorithm which employs a partially observable Markov ...
