K nearest neighbor queries and knn-joins in large relational databases (almost) for free

B Yao, F Li, P Kumar - 2010 IEEE 26th International …, 2010 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Finding the k nearest neighbors (kNN) of a query point, or a set of query points (kNN-Join)

Bayesian capture‐recapture methods for error detection and estimation of population size: Heterogeneity and dependence

S Basu, N Ebrahimi - Biometrika, 2001 - academic.oup.com

Evaluating capture-recapture models with two inspectors

K El Emam, O Laitenberger - IEEE Transactions on Software …, 2001 - ieeexplore.ieee.org

Estimating the number of remaining defects after inspection

J Miller - Software Testing, Verification and Reliability, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
An essential component of all software inspection processes is a well‐founded decision
about continuing or stopping the current process. This decision should be based upon …

A new Bayesian method for nonparametric capture‐recapture models in presence of heterogeneity

L Tardella - Biometrika, 2002 - academic.oup.com
