In this paper we discuss the asymptotical properties of quantile processes under random censoring. In contrast to most work in this area we prove weak convergence of an appropriately standardized quantile process under the assumption that the quantile regression model is only linear in the region, where the process is investigated. Additionally, we also discuss properties of the quantile proces...

One of the most notable features of nanometer scale CMOS technology is the increasing magnitude of variability of the key parameters affecting performance of integrated circuits [1]. Although scaling made controlling extrinsic variability more complex, nonetheless, the most profound reason for the future increase in parameter variability is that the technology is approaching the regime of funda...

We present a method by which any polynomial-time randomized distributed algorithm is transformed in such way that each participating process needs only polylog local random bits and access to a server providing random strings. The method assumes no coordination among the processes. The error probability increases by only an additive negligible term, and the time complexity of each process incre...
