propaganda is a form of advertising which:

• propaganda persuades people into believe in a cause
• often defies reason to reach into ??

See examples:

• US WWII Propaganda

techniques for propaganda

• Name calling
• Generalities
• Transferring of authority
• Public testimonial
• Attachment to plane folks
• Bandwagoning (FOMO)
• Fear
• Bad logic
• Unwanted extrapolation

We define the optimal proposal distribution as the one that minimizes the variance of the estimator of the Probability of Failure.

Sadly, the best proposal distributions is…

\begin{equation} q^{*}\qty(\tau) = \frac{p\qty(\tau) 1\qty {\tau \not \in \psi}}{p_{\text{fail}}} = \frac{p\qty(\tau) 1\qty {\tau \not \in \psi}}{\int 1 \qty {\tau \not\in \psi} p\qty(\tau) \dd{\tau }} \end{equation}

but wait this is just the Failure Distribution! But our entire point is trying to estimate \(p_{\text{fail}}\).

notice that this is exactly the DEFINITION OF THE FAILURE DISTRIBUTION. et, we were trying to estimate \(p_{\text{fail}}\) in the first place? Recall; we are able to sample from the Failure Distribution, fit a model and nice.

Background

In operations research, a key problem involves balancing limited and uncertain resources for the maximization of a specific business objective under constraints (such as budget or time). Approaches for this problem are frequently domain-specific due to the variability in design variables.

For simpler problems such as hub-and-spoke placement design, one can use proximity (i.e. distance) as a target, leading to clustering-based approaches ((Ruan et al. 2016)) which focuses on minimizing resource distance to solve a specific task. In others probes, however, clustering based approaches do not show a clear advantage due to the fact that they involve resource allocation decisions on a non-linear space (unlike physical space) subject also to non-linear constraints (unlike time).
