Reliability assessment under incomplete information: an evaluative study
… the variables are correlated. The available information, most of the time, is limited to the first and second moments. Very few methods can handle correlation between the variables when the joint probability density function is unknown. There are no reports that provide information of the …

Balanced allocations under incomplete information: New settings and techniques
… which trade sample efficiency, completeness of information and gap guarantees. For the (1+β)-process which mixes One-Choice and Two-Choice with probability β in (0, 1], we prove tight bounds for small and large β, extending the results of Peres, Talwar and Wieder (2015). Another sample efficient …
