In this paper we address the computational feasibility of the class of decision theoretic models referred to as adversarial risk analyses (ARA). These are models where a decision must be made with consideration for how an intelligent…
The alignment of biological networks has the potential to teach us as much about biology and disease as has sequence alignment. Sequence alignment can be optimally solved in polynomial time. In contrast, network alignment is $NP$-hard,…

Selection bias arises when the probability that an observation enters a dataset depends on variables related to the quantities of interest, leading to systematic distortions in estimation and uncertainty quantification. For example, in…
