A comparison is made of four competing upper bounds for the efficiency factor of an incomplete block design, in the case of connected designs with equal treatment replication and equal block size. It ...

Statistical testing and lower bounds in distributed estimation constitute a rapidly evolving area that addresses both the design of robust tests for assessing data properties across networked systems ...

The purpose of this note is to establish the superiority of the factorial moment bound over Chernoff's bound for nonnegative integer-valued random variables. Journal Information The American ...
