Random Sampling from Pseudo-Ranked B+ Trees
In the past, two basic approaches for sampling f5-om B+ trees have been suggested: sampling from the ranked trees and acceptance/rejection sampling i?om non-ranked trees. The first approach requires the entire root-to-leaf path to be updated with each insertion and deletion. The second has no update overhead, but incurs a high rejection rate for the compressed-key B+ trees commonly used in prac...
متن کاملPSEUDO-RANDOM DIRECTIONAL SEARCH: A NEW HEURISTIC FOR OPTIMIZATION
Meta-heuristics have already received considerable attention in various fields of engineering optimization problems. Each of them employes some key features best suited for a specific class of problems due to its type of search space and constraints. The present work develops a Pseudo-random Directional Search, PDS, for adaptive combination of such heuristic operators. It utilizes a short term...
متن کاملA Block-Wise random sampling approach: Compressed sensing problem
The focus of this paper is to consider the compressed sensing problem. It is stated that the compressed sensing theory, under certain conditions, helps relax the Nyquist sampling theory and takes smaller samples. One of the important tasks in this theory is to carefully design measurement matrix (sampling operator). Most existing methods in the literature attempt to optimize a randomly initiali...
متن کاملA New Method for Hybrid Pseudo Random Number Generator
Powerful cryptographic systems need qualified random numbers. Qualified random numbers need providing good statistical qualities, not predicting and not re-generating. The numbers generated by raw Pseudo Random Number Generators (PRNG) can be predicted when their seed value are detected or the functions used in the system are not complicated enough. Moreover, the stream generated repeats itself...
متن کاملA random spatial sampling method in a rural developing nation
BACKGROUND Nonrandom sampling of populations in developing nations has limitations and can inaccurately estimate health phenomena, especially among hard-to-reach populations such as rural residents. However, random sampling of rural populations in developing nations can be challenged by incomplete enumeration of the base population. METHODS We describe a stratified random sampling method usin...
