Journal Article
Bond, R., Zhu, T., Finlay, D., Drew, B., Kligfield, P., Guldenring, D., Breen, C., Gallagher, A., Daly, M., & Clifford, G. (2014). Assessing computerized eye tracking technology for gaining insight into expert interpretation of the 12-lead electrocardiogram: an objective quantitative approach.

Introduction
It is well known that accurate interpretation of the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) requires a high degree of skill. There is also a moderate degree of variability among those who interpret the ECG. While this is the case, there are no...

Error analysis of estimators that use combinations of stochastic sampling strategies for direct illumination (2014)
Journal Article
Subr, K., Nowrouzezahrai, D., Jarosz, W., Kautz, J., & Mitchell, K. (2014). Error analysis of estimators that use combinations of stochastic sampling strategies for direct illumination. Computer Graphics Forum, 33(4), 93-102. https://doi.org/10.1111/cgf.12416

We present a theoretical analysis of error of combinations of Monte Carlo estimators used in image synthesis. Importance sampling and multiple importance sampling are popular variance-reduction strategies. Unfortunately, neither strategy improves the...
