Graphical models for inference with missing data

K Mohan, J Pearl, J Tian - Advances in neural information …, 2013 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We address the problem of deciding whether there exists a consistent estimator of a given
relation Q, when data are missing not at random. We employ a formal representation …

Network tomography of binary network performance characteristics

N Duffield - IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2006 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In network performance tomography, characteristics of the network interior, such as link loss
and packet latency, are inferred from correlated end-to-end measurements. Most work to …

Robust monitoring of link delays and faults in IP networks

Overlay network monitoring enables distributed Internet applications to detect and recover
from path outages and periods of degraded performance within seconds. For an overlay …

An empirical evaluation of wide-area internet bottlenecks

A Akella, S Seshan, A Shaikh - Proceedings of the 3rd ACM SIGCOMM …, 2003 - dl.acm.org
Conventional wisdom has been that the performance limitations in the current Internet lie at
the edges of the network--ie last mile connectivity to users, or access links of stub ASes. As …
