On the Exact Distributions of Pattern Statistics for a Sequence of Binary Trials: A Combinatorial Approach
Consider a sequence of exchangeable or Markov-dependent binary (zero-one) trials. A sequence of independent and identically distributed binary trials... -
Change point detection in text data
The analysis of text data using artificial intelligence and statistical methods has become increasingly important in recent years. One application is...
