Comparing Partition and Random Testing via Majorization and Schur Functions
The comparison of partition and random sampling methods for software testing has received considerable attention in the literature. A standard criterion for comparisons between random and partition testing based on their expected efficacy in program debugging is the probability of detecting at least one failure causing input in the program’s domain. We investigate the relative effectiveness of ...
متن کاملStochastic Orders and Majorization of Mean Order Statistics
We characterize the (continuous) majorization of integrable functions introduced by Hardy, Littlewood, and Pólya in terms of the (discrete) majorization of finite-dimensional vectors, introduced by the same authors. The most interesting version of this result is the characterization of the (increasing) convex order for integrable random variables in terms of majorization of vectors of expected ...
متن کاملOrdering of Order Statistics Using Variance Majorization
In this paper, we study stochastic comparisons of order statistics of independent random variables with proportional hazard rates, using the notion of variance majorization.
متن کاملStochastic Bound Majorization
Recently a majorization method for optimizing partition functions of log-linear models was proposed alongside a novel quadratic variational upper-bound. In the batch setting, it outperformed state-of-the-art firstand second-order optimization methods on various learning tasks. We propose a stochastic version of this bound majorization method as well as a low-rank modification for highdimensiona...
متن کاملSchur Functions
Editorial comments. The Schur functions sλ are a special basis for the algebra of symmetric functions Λ. They are also intimately connected with representations of the symmetric and general linear groups. In what follows we will give two alternative definitions of these functions, show how they are related to other symmetric function bases, explicitly describe their connection with representati...
