This paper presents an algorithm for generating correlated vectors of random numbers. The user need not fully specify the joint distribution function; instead, the user "partially specifies" only the ...

Previously suggested methods for constructing confidence bands for cumulative distribution functions have been based on the classical Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for an empirical distribution function.

Quantum key distribution enables two remote parties to grow a shared key, which they can use for unconditionally secure communication over a certain distance. The maximal distance depends on the loss ...
