Quasi-regression is a method of Monte Carlo approximation useful for global sensitivity analysis. This paper presents a new version, incorporating shrinkage parameters of the type used in wavelet approximation. As an example application, a black box function from machine learning is analyzed....

In a computer network where nodes can fail, multipath transmission can be used to increase the probability of successful transmission. However, even multipath transmission has a probability of failure, which depends on the selected paths. Hence, estimating this probability of failure is of great...
