Power system and its communication system, which can be called a cyber-physical system, are interconnected and interdependent on each other. This paper considers the interaction problem between power system and its communication module from the perspective of the topological structure. Firstly,...

We propose an adaptive importance resampling algorithm for estimating bootstrap quantiles of general statistics. The algorithm is especially useful in estimating extreme quantiles and can be easily used to construct bootstrap confidence intervals. Empirical results on real and simulated data...

The assessment of dose-response is an integral component of the drug development process. Parallel dose-response studies are conducted, customarily, in preclinical and phase 1, 2 clinical trials for this purpose. Practical constraints on dose range, dose levels and dose proportions are intrinsic...
