The quality of visual input is very important for both human and machine perception. Consequently many processing techniques exist that deal with different distortions. Usually image processing is applied freely and lacks redundancy…
We present a variation on classic beam thresholding techniques that is up to an order of magnitude faster than the traditional method, at the same performance level. We also present a new thresholding technique, global thresholding, which,…
The branching methods developed are effective methods to solve some semi linear PDEs and are shown numerically to be able to solve some full non linear PDEs. These methods are however restricted to some small coefficients in the PDE and…

As computational machines become larger and more complex, the probability of hardware failure rises. ``Silent errors'', or bit flips, may not be immediately apparent but can cause detrimental effects to algorithm behavior. In this work, we…
For large software applications, running the whole test suite after each code change is time- and resource-intensive. Regression test selection techniques aim at reducing test execution time by selecting only the tests that are affected by…
Standardized large-scale testing can be a debatable topic, in which test fairness sits at its very core. This study found that two out of five recent multi-group DIF detection methods are capable of capturing both the uniform and nonuniform…
Regression discontinuity (RD) designs are a popular approach to estimating a treatment effect of cutoff-based interventions. Two current estimation approaches dominate the literature. One fits separate regressions on either side of the…
Randomized discontinuation design (RDD) is an enrichment strategy commonly used to address limitations of traditional placebo-controlled trials, particularly the ethical concern of prolonged placebo exposure. RDD consists of two phases: an…
