Abstract: The article examines statistical properties of cumulative estimates of the bounds of the mathematical expectation of a discrete random variable and point estimates constructed on their basis ...

Abstract: We construct a discrete optimization via simulation (DOvS) procedure using discrete Gaussian Markov random fields (GMRFs). Gaussian random fields (GRFs) are used in DOvS to balance ...

Today we're looking at HyperLogLog, an algorithm that leverages random chance to count the number of distinct items are in a dataset. It does this by tracking the longest run of zeros in a binary ...

Bitcoin miners don't solve complex math problems - they guess numbers. While "solving mathematical puzzles" has become a common description of bitcoin mining, the process more closely resembles a ...
