A flexible class of prior distributions is proposed, for the covariance matrix of a multivariate normal distribution, yielding much more general hierarchical and empirical Bayes smoothing and ...

Using fifteen different variables and a blackboard-sized equation, Geek Logik author Garth Sundam has determined a formula for greatness.

This paper presents a numerical comparison between algorithms for unconstrained optimization that take account of sparsity in the second derivative matrix of the objective function. Some of the ...
