Admissibility of Completely Randomized Trials: A Large-Deviation Approach
When an experimenter has the option of running an adaptive trial, is it admissible to ignore this option and run a non-adaptive trial instead? We provide a negative answer to this question in the best-arm identification problem, where the experimenter aims to allocate measurement efforts judiciously to confidently deploy the most effective treatment arm. We find that, whenever there are at least three treatment arms, there exist simple adaptive designs that universally and strictly dominate non…

Faster Remainder by Direct Computation: Applications to Compilers and Software Libraries
On common processors, integer multiplication is many times faster than integer division. Dividing a numerator n by a divisor d is mathematically equivalent to multiplication by the inverse of the divisor (n / d = n x 1/d). If the divisor is known in advance---or if repeated integer divisions will be performed with the same divisor---it can be beneficial to substitute a less costly multiplication for an expensive division. Currently, the remainder of the division by a constant is computed from…

Numerical Aspects of Large Deviations
An introduction to numerical large-deviation sampling is provided. First, direct biasing with a known distribution is explained. As simple example, the Bernoulli experiment is used throughout the text. Next, Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations are introduced. In particular, the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm is explained. As first implementation of MCMC, sampling of the plain Bernoulli model is shown. Next, an exponential bias is used for the same model, which allows one to obtain the ta…

LATENTRED main board layout progress: got most of the GTYs and FPGA-MCU paths done, as well as the RGMII PHY.
Still lots more to do but I'm liking the floorplan, at least the parts that I've done.
I'm debating moving the RGMII PHY to the west a bit and adding a fan cutout directly behind the FPGA so that I can have it suck exhaust air right past the FPGA (possibly with a 3d printed air dam or something in the future). Will need to spend some time thinking about therma…
