May 11	comment	Distance Metrics For Binary Vectors How about edit distance?
May 2	comment	Name of phenomenon on estimated CDF plots of censored data I'm not sure whether you understood the domain correctly: The problem is a search. The algorithm looks at a node at a time in order to find a solution node. A better algorithm has to look at less nodes before it finds a solution (because it selects nodes more cleverly). Looking at a node requires some time, and so number of nodes examined and time consumed should correlate rather strongly.
May 2	comment	Name of phenomenon on estimated CDF plots of censored data @EngrStudent The samples come from different benchmark sets, so there is no nice underlying model, I suppose, since they are not iid. But I think the effect on the plot is due to a mixture of your and my hypothesis. I've added the plot for the censored variable. so you can compare.
May 2	revised	Name of phenomenon on estimated CDF plots of censored data add plot of ecdf for censored variable
May 1	comment	Name of phenomenon on estimated CDF plots of censored data I don't think my problem lies with finding the correct model. You see the second plot in my question? The true distribution would show as a line, but due to the censoring effect it becomes a curve. I want to know how to call this phenomenon.

Apr 30	comment	Name of phenomenon on estimated CDF plots of censored data @lmorin I don't exactly know what early termination means, but the data is cleanly right-censored on the time variable.
Apr 30	comment	Name of phenomenon on estimated CDF plots of censored data @soakly The samples are not iis. The algorithm runs on a set of benchmark problems, and those basically define the shape of the curve (together with the characteristics of the algorithm configurations).

Apr 11	comment	Multi-armed bandit algorithms in Java? If you want to learn, why not code it yourself?
Apr 11	comment	Multi-armed bandit algorithms in Java? Most certainly. What is your goal?
Mar 15	answered	Assigning a sample set to one of several populations based on composition
Mar 14	comment	Assigning a sample set to one of several populations based on composition Are you asking how to compute the likelihood or are you asking whether it's sensible to select the bucket with the highest likelihood?
