We consider the problem of estimating the set of all inputs that leads a system to some particular behavior. The system is modeled by an expensive-to-evaluate function, such as a computer experiment, and we are interested in its excursion set, that is, the ...
Precipitation isotope data were used to determine the origin of groundwater in the Badain Jaran Desert (BJD) in the study of Wu et al. (2017). Both precipitation and its isotope composition vary seasonally, so arithmetic averages of precipitation isotope v ...
Expectation propagation (EP) is a widely successful algorithm for variational inference. EP is an iterative algorithm used to approximate complicated distributions, typically to find a Gaussian approximation of posterior distributions. In many applications ...
We are interested in decompositions xnf1f2 of the majority function over n odd arguments x1, ...,xnsuch that f1and f2do not depend on xn. In this paper, we derive the conditions for f1and f2that satisfy the decomposition. Such decompositions play a centr ...
To ensure all products as perfect, inspection is essential, even though it is not possible to inspect all products after producing them like some special type products as plastic joint for the water pipe. In this direction, this paper develops an inventory ...
The melanization reaction is a rapid and important immune mechanism in arthropods. It results in the production of melanin at the site of injury and around invading microbes. The enzymes responsible for melanogenesis are phenoloxidases (PO), which catalyze ...
A representation of a Boolean function is canonical if, given a variable order, only one instance of the representation is possible for the function. A computation is canonical if the result depends only on the Boolean function and a variable order, and do ...
