Introduction to Software Process Improvement

While software now pervades most facets of modern life, its historical problems have not been solved. This report explains why some of these problems have been so difficult for organizations to address and the actions required to address them. It describes the Software Engineering Institute’s (SEI) software process maturity model, how this model can be used to guide software organizations in pr...

Introduction to the Dirichlet Process

The Chinese Restaurant Process (CRP) is a sequence of distributions indexed by N . For a fixed α > 0 and for each N , CRP(α,N) is a distribution over all partitions of the labeled set [N ] := {1, 2, . . . , N}. For example, π[5] = {{1, 3}, {2}, {4, 5}} is a partition of [5]. The ordering of the subsets of the partition and the ordering of the elements within each subset do not matter. We someti...

5 Introduction to Simulation Techniques

These lectures give an introduction to Monte Carlo simulations of classical statistical physics systems and their statistical analysis. After briefly recalling a few elementary properties of phase transitions, the concept of importance sampling Monte Carlo methods is discussed and illustrated by a few standard local update algorithms (Metropolis, heat-bath, Glauber). Then emphasis is placed on ...
