The CMA Evolution Strategy: A Tutorial

Nikolaus Hansen
- 04 Apr 2016 - 
TL;DR: This tutorial introduces the CMA Evolution Strategy (ES), where CMA stands for Covariance Matrix Adaptation, a stochastic method for real-parameter (continuous domain) optimization of non-linear, non-convex functions.

Peak-To-Average Power Ratio Reduction in OFDM Systems: A Survey And Taxonomy

TL;DR: The survey describes the most commonly encountered impediment of OFDM systems, the PAPR problem and consequent impact on power amplifiers leading to nonlinear distortion, and provides insights into the transmitted power constraint by showing the possibility of satisfying the constraint without added complexity by the use of companding transforms with suitably chosen companding parameters.

Importance Nested Sampling and the MultiNest Algorithm

TL;DR: In this article, an alternative summation of the MultiNest draws, called importance nested sampling (INS), is presented, which can calculate the Bayesian evidence at up to an order of magnitude higher accuracy than vanilla NS with no change in the way Multi-Nest explores the parameter space.
