Divergence Estimation for Multidimensional Densities Via $k$-Nearest-Neighbor Distances

Qing Wang, S. Kulkarni, S. Verdú
Mathematics, Computer Science
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory
1 May 2009

A new universal estimator of divergence is presented for multidimensional continuous densities based on k-nearest-neighbor (k-NN) distances. Expand

A deterministic approach to throughput scaling in wireless networks

S. Kulkarni, P. Viswanath
Computer Science
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory
12 September 2002

We address the problem of how throughput in a wireless network scales as the number of users grows. Expand

Rapid estimation of camera motion from compressed video with application to video annotation

Y. Tan, D. D. Saur, S. Kulkarni, P. Ramadge
Computer Science
IEEE Trans. Circuits Syst. Video Technol.

We develop tools based on camera motion for analyzing and annotating a class of structured video using the low-level information available directly from MPEG-compressed video. Expand

The Problem of Induction

G. Harman, S. Kulkarni
Philosophy
1 May 2006

The problem of induction is sometimes motivated via a comparison between rules of induction and rules of deduction. Valid deductive rules are necessarily truth preserving, while inductive rules are… Expand

The Automated Palomar 60 Inch Telescope

S. Cenko, D. Fox, +13 authors A. Laity
Physics
15 August 2006

We have converted the Palomar 60 inch (1.52 m) telescope from a classic night‐assistant‐operated telescope to a fully robotic facility. The automated system, which has been operational since 2004… Expand

Maximum Power Point Tracking for Photovoltaic Optimization Using Ripple-Based Extremum Seeking Control

S. Brunton, C. Rowley, S. Kulkarni, C. Clarkson
Engineering
IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics
6 May 2010

This study develops a maximum power point tracking algorithm that optimizes solar array performance and adapts to rapidly varying irradiance conditions. In particular, a novel extremum seeking (ES)… Expand

Probabilistic Coherence and Proper Scoring Rules

Joel B. Predd, R. Seiringer, E. Lieb, D. Osherson, H. Poor, S. Kulkarni
Mathematics, Computer Science
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory
16 October 2007

This paper provides self-contained proof of a theorem relating probabilistic coherence of forecasts to their non-domination by rival forecasts with respect to any proper scoring rule. Expand

Divergence estimation of continuous distributions based on data-dependent partitions

Qing Wang, S. Kulkarni, S. Verdú
Mathematics, Computer Science
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory
1 September 2005

We present a universal estimator of the divergence D(P/spl par/Q) for two arbitrary continuous distributions P and Q satisfying certain regularity conditions. Expand
