Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) enables us to compute arbitrary circuits over encrypted data without decryption. To evaluate a complex circuit, a time-consuming operation called bootstrapping is required. Reducing the number of bootstrapping operations leads directly to reducing the entire computation time of the circuit. An optimization problem which minimizes the number of bootstrapping op...

This survey considers the optimization of simulated systems. The simulation may be either deterministic or random. The survey reflects the author’s extensive experience with simulationoptimization through Kriging (or Gaussian process) metamodels using a frequentist (non-Bayesian) approach. The analysis of Kriging metamodels may use bootstrapping. The survey discusses both parametric bootstrappi...

This paper outlines a complete bootstrapping approach to the estimation and analysis of macroeconometric models. It combines the bootstrapping literature initiated by Efron (1979) and the stochastic simulation literature initiated by Adelman and Adelman (1959).

According to amuch discussed argument, reliabilism is defective formaking knowledge too easy to come by. In a recent paper, Weisberg aims to show that this argument relies on a type of reasoning that is rejectable on independent grounds. We argue that the blanket rejection that Weisberg recommends of this type of reasoning is both unwarranted and unwelcome. Drawing on an older discussion in the...

Children use syntax to guide verb learning in a process known as syntactic bootstrapping. Recent work explores how syntactic bootstrapping works-how it begins, and how it interacts with progress in syntax acquisition. We review evidence for three claims about the mechanisms and representations underlying syntactic bootstrapping: (1) Learners are biased to represent linguistic knowledge in a use...

It is known that bootstrapping maximum for estimating the endpoint of a distribution function is inconsistent and subsample bootstrap method is needed. Under an extreme value condition, some other estimators for the endpoint have been studied in the literature, which are preferrable to the maximum in regular cases. In this paper, we show that the full sample bootstrap method is consistent for t...
