We investigated subset-based optimization methods for positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction incorporating a regularizing prior. PET reconstruction methods that use a prior, such as ...

Sankhyā: The Indian Journal of Statistics, Series B (2008-), Vol. 78, No. 1 (May 2016), pp. 66-77 (12 pages) We consider the problem of unbiased estimation of a finite population mean (or proportion) ...

The man behind The Washington Post's "Pinocchios" is leaving the paper without anyone to fill his shoes. Glenn Kessler, the editor of The Fact Checker, announced Monday he has taken a buyout, ending ...

Proposed new feature or change: Numpy provides efficient, vectorized methods for generating random samples of an array with replacement. However, it lacks similar functionality for sampling without ...
