Bayesian inference has been used for genetic risk calculation. In this traditional method, inheritance events are divided into a number of cases under the inheritance model, and some elements of the ...

The application of Bayesian methods to large-scale phylogenetics problems is increasingly limited by computational issues, motivating the development of methods that can complement existing Markov ...

Many antineoplastics are designed to target upregulated genes, but quantifying upregulation in a single patient sample requires an appropriate set of samples for comparison. In cancer, the most ...

Symmetries in nature make things beautiful; symmetries in data make data handling efficient. However, the complexity of identifying such patterns in data has always bedeviled researchers. Scientists ...

A research team has developed a new technique to rapidly and accurately determine the charge state of electrons confined in semiconductor quantum dots -- fundamental components of quantum computing ...

An approximate Bayesian method is developed to study the joint mortality rate of two cancer sites over several geographic areas. A conditionally independent two-stage hierarchical model is used to ...

Nate Silver, baseball statistician turned political analyst, gained a lot of attention during the 2012 United States elections when he successfully predicted the outcome of the presidential vote in ...
