While it is well known that high levels of prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) result in significant cognitive deficits in children, the exact nature of the dose response is less well understood. In particular, there is a pressing need to…

In this paper, the decades-old clustering method k-means is revisited. The original distortion minimization model of k-means is addressed by a pure stochastic minimization procedure. In each step of the iteration, one sample is tentatively…
