Using Subsample Values as Typical Values

Journal of the American Statistical Association, 1969
Abstract The subsample values of a statistic t are the values of t for subsets of the whole sample. Subsample values may be used as indicators of variability of t. For real valued statistics t, estimating a parameter θ, the subsample values are defined to form a set of typical values if the intervals between the ordered subsample values each include θ ...

Storageless value prediction using prior register values

Proceedings of the 26th International Symposium on Computer Architecture (Cat. No.99CB36367), 1999
This paper presents a technique called register value prediction (RVP) which uses a type of locality called register-value reuse. By predicting that an instruction will produce the value that is already stored in the destination register, we eliminate the need for large value buffers to enable value prediction.
