(Un)Conditional Sample Generation Based on Distribution Element Trees
Recently, distribution element trees (DETs) were introduced as an accurate
and computationally efficient method for density estimation. In this work, we
demonstrate that the DET formulation promotes an easy and inexpensive way to
generate random samples similar to a smooth bootstrap. These samples can be
generated unconditionally, but also, without further complications,
conditionally utilizing available information about certain probability-space
components.Comment: published online in the Journal of Computational and Graphical

The Deleuzian Revolution: Ten Innovations in Difference and Repetition
Difference and Repetition might be said to have brought about a Deleuzian Revolution in philosophy comparable to Kant’s Copernican Revolution. Kant had denounced the three great terminal points of traditional metaphysics – self, world and God – as transcendent illusions, and Deleuze pushes Kant’s revolution to its limit by positing a transcendental field that excludes the coherence of the self, world and God in favour of an immanent and differential plane of impersonal individuations and pre-individual singularities. In the process, he introduces numerous conceptual innovations into philosophy: the becoming of concepts; a transformation of the form of the question; an insistence that philosophy must start in the middle; an attempt to think in terms of multiplicities; the development of a new logic and a new metaphysics based on a concept of difference; a new conception of space as intensive rather than extensive; a conception of time as a pure and empty form; and an understanding of philosophy as a system in heterogenesis – that is, a system that entails a perpetual genesis of the heterogeneous, an incessant production of the new.

Crab sport fisheries in Humboldt Bay and Cresent City Harbor, California
In December 1964 interviewing of sport crab fishermen was
begun in Humboldt Bay. A similar study was initiated in
Crescent City in 1965. Fifty-four anglers interviewed at
Humboldt Bay in 1964 and 1965 caught 27 Dungeness crabs,
Cancer magister. The total estimated catch during the
sampling period was 400 Dungeness crabs.
Skiff fishermen in Crescent City caught an estimated 6,318
Dungeness crabs during the 1965-66 season; 1,666 Dungeness
crabs during the 1966-67 season and 5,054 Dungeness crabs
during the 1967-68 season. There is a good potential for
increased fishing in Crescent City Harbor, Trinidad Bay and
Shelter Cove. (10p.
Cooperative Radar and Communications Signaling: The Estimation and Information Theory Odd Couple
We investigate cooperative radar and communications signaling. While each
system typically considers the other system a source of interference, by
considering the radar and communications operations to be a single joint
system, the performance of both systems can, under certain conditions, be
improved by the existence of the other. As an initial demonstration, we focus
on the radar as relay scenario and present an approach denoted multiuser
detection radar (MUDR). A novel joint estimation and information theoretic
bound formulation is constructed for a receiver that observes communications
and radar return in the same frequency allocation. The joint performance bound
is presented in terms of the communication rate and the estimation rate of the
system.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, to be presented at 2014 IEEE Radar Conferenc
