Lecture Notes on Testing Monotonicity

چکیده

Leaving the land of algebraic functions behind us, we find the notion of a monotone function most appealing. The definition of this notion presumes a partial order on the domain of the function and a total order on its range. We say that f : D → R is monotone if, for every x, y ∈ D if x < y (according to the partial order on D), then f(x) ≤ f(y) (according to the order on R). The most natural partially ordered domains are the total order on the “line” [n] = {1, 2, ..., n} and the partial order on the hypercube {0, 1}l. Interpolating these two case, we consider the Department of Computer Science, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel.

IMS Lecture Notes–Monograph Series Mixtures and Monotonicity: a Review of Estimation under Monotonicity Constraints

Monotone and multiply monotone densities have well-known mixture representations. The underlying mixture representations give rise to a wide variety of fascinating inverse problems. We review the forward problems (estimation of the mixed density) and the inverse problems (estimation of the mixing distribution in two different guises), including Hampel’s bird resting time problem and generalizat...

Big Data on the Rise? - Testing Monotonicity of Distributions

The field of property testing of probability distributions, or distribution testing, aims to provide fast and (most likely) correct answers to questions pertaining to specific aspects of very large datasets. In this work, we consider a property of particular interest, monotonicity of distributions. We focus on the complexity of monotonicity testing across different models of access to the distr...

Lecture Notes on Testing Graph Properties in the Dense Graph Model

Organization. The current lecture is the first out of a series of three lectures that cover three models for testing graph properties. In each model, we spell out the definition of property testing (when specialized to that model), present some of the known results, and demonstrate some of the ideas involved (by focusing on testing Bipartiteness, which seems a good benchmark). We start the curr...

Testing Techniques

Prologue Testing is an important technique to check and control software quality. It is part of almost any software development project. Time and resources devoted to testing may vary from 30% up to 70% of a project's resources. Yet, testing is often an underexposed and underestimated part of software development. Also academic research and education in testing are rather low compared with the ...
