Abstract:It is known that EDA tools produce results of different quality dependent on seemingly neutral details in the input. We bring further results in this direction, which show that the differences can impair any quantitative comparisons of the tools. To gain qualitative insight, we present a stochastic model of result quality based on Gaussian Mixtures. We show on three case studies how these models help to evaluate and improve EDA algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
