  • Abstract
    We propose a method based on partial least squares (PLS) regression to estimate the probability density function of the critical path delay. The method works on a reduced problem facilitated by PLS regression and requires only 102 samples to achieve satisfactory accuracy. The method is verified by simulations on ISCAS´85 benchmark circuits.
