Incremental Construction of Motorcycle Graphs
Algorithms, 2022 We show that the so-called motorcycle graph of a planar polygon can be constructed by a randomized incremental algorithm that is simple and experimentally fast.

Randomized Optimization: a Probabilistic Analysis [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2007 In 1999, Chan proposed an algorithm to solve a given optimization problem: express the solution as the minimum of the solutions of several subproblems and apply the classical randomized algorithm for finding the minimum of $r$ numbers.

How Did CNBSS Influence Guidelines for So Long and What Can That Teach Us?
Current Oncology, 2022 The biased randomization and other quality concerns about the Canadian National Breast Screening Studies (CNBSS) were documented and criticized for decades, even by several individuals very close to the research.

Random walks with random velocities
Physical Review E, 2008 We consider a random walk model that takes into account the velocity distribution of random walkers. Random motion with alternating velocities is inherent to various physical and biological systems. Moreover, the velocity distribution is often the first characteristic that is experimentally accessible. Here, we derive transport equations describing the

Estimating ecosystem naturalness using Benford’s Law and Generalized Benford’s Law
Turkish Journal of Forestry, 2021 A new method was proposed to estimate ecosystem naturalness. Three species-plot (S Χ A) datasets were used. Those data sets belong to Sultan mountain sub-district (BS) (60 Χ 96) Dedegül mountain sub-district (BD) (89 Χ 119) and, Beyşehir Watershed (B ...

The Entry of Randomized Assignment into the Social Sciences
Journal of Causal Inference, 2019 Although the concept of randomized assignment in order to control for extraneous confounding factors reaches back hundreds of years, the first empirical use appears to have been in an 1835 trial of homeopathic medicine.

Sampling-Based Robot Motion Planning: A Review
IEEE Access, 2014 Motion planning is a fundamental research area in robotics. Sampling-based methods offer an efficient solution for what is otherwise a rather challenging dilemma of path planning.

Random Walks in Random Environment [PDF]
Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 2006 Random walks in random environments (RWRE's) have been a source of surprising phenomena and challenging problems since they began to be studied in the 70's. Hitting times and, more recently, certain regeneration structures, have played a major role in our understanding of RWRE's. We review these and provide some hints on current research directions and
