Hi Liam, I believe https://ccrma.stanford.edu/academics/masters is an excellent program. It's not an online program, but at least it happens close to where you live. At Kadenze.com you'll find online (related) courses. Esteban On 7/20/2016 3:11 PM, Liam Sargent wrote: Hello all, Been

Ethan --- If we use only a binary search in the discard step, isn't the amortized complexity still O(N)? I suppose not... We'd be doing a log2(w) search every sample in the worst case where a monotonic decrease occurs. I'll have to look over the paper to get a better understanding, but would

You might take a look at www.ambiophonics.org which discusses a whole bunch of DSP applications for both recording and reproduction. If you look at the NYU thesis and the related AES paper you will see ideas for more MS thesis ideas. One possibility is to codify Envelophonics and prove why it

Good idea and very clear summary. One correction: in the discard step the paper prescribes a linear search through the queue starting from the end, not a binary search. And the modification I propose is to stick with this linear search for the first log2(w) samples, then switch to a binary

Of course, for processing n samples, something that is O(n) is going to eventually beat something that's O(n*log(w)), for big enough w. FWIW if it's important to have O(log(w)) worst case per sample, I think you can adapt the method of the paper to achieve this while keeping the O(1) average.
