TLDR
The fast generation of discrete random variables with arbitrary frequency distributions is discussed, related to rejection techniques but differs from them in that all samples comprising the input data contribute to the samples in the target distribution.Abstract:
The fast generation of discrete random variables with arbitrary frequency distributions is discussed. The proposed method is related to rejection techniques but differs from them in that all samples comprising the input data contribute to the samples in the target distribution. The software implementation of the method requires at most two memory references and a comparison. The method features good accuracy and modest storage requirements. I t is particularly useful in small computers with limited memory capacity.read more

Model for the detection of signals in images with multiple suspicious locations.
TL;DR: A signal detection model is presented that combines a signal model and a noise model providing mathematical descriptions of the frequency of appearance of the signals, and of the signal-like features naturally occurring in the background, to describe several new types of detection tests using likelihood ratio statistics.

Particle filtering within adaptive Metropolis-Hastings sampling
TL;DR: It is shown that it is feasible to carry out exact Bayesian inference for non-Gaussian state space models using an adaptive Metropolis-Hastings sampling scheme with the likelihood approximated by the particle filter.
