Thanks to extremely rapid convergence of the Markov chain and simple posterior calculations, the algorithm is ready for use in real-world adaptive testing with running times fully comparable with ...

The expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm is a popular approach for obtaining maximum likelihood estimates in incomplete data problems because of its simplicity and stability (e.g. monotonie ...

Serial-data links embed clocks in their data streams, and those clocks must be recovered at the receiver end. This Design Idea describes a data/clock-recovery algorithm for an NRZ (non-return-to-zero) ...

Computer scientists have invented a highly effective, yet incredibly simple, algorithm to decide which items to toss from a web cache to make room for new ones. Computer scientists have invented a ...
