In almost every scientific field, measurements are performed over time. These observations
lead to a collection of organized data called time series. The purpose of time-series data …

Motivation: Genetic recombination and, in particular, genetic shuffling are at odds with
sequence comparison by alignment, which assumes conservation of contiguity between …

Wavelets are a relatively recent development in applied mathematics. Their name itself was
coined approximately a decade ago (Morlet, Arens, Fourgeau, and Giard (1982), Morlet …

A new class of distances appropriate for measuring similarity relations between sequences,
say one type of similarity per distance, is studied. We propose a new" normalized …

Most data mining algorithms require the setting of many input parameters. Two main
dangers of working with parameter-laden algorithms are the following. First, incorrect …

Inferring the causal structure that links n observables is usually based upon detecting
statistical dependences and choosing simple graphs that make the joint measure …

During software development it is helpful to obtain early estimates of the defect density of
software components. Such estimates identify fault-prone areas of code requiring further …

Motivation: Most existing approaches for phylogenetic inference use multiple alignment of
sequences and assume some sort of an evolutionary model. The multiple alignment strategy …

A fundamental question in information theory and in computer science is how to measure
similarity or the amount of shared information between two sequences. We have proposed a …

This paper introduces a novel algorithm for biological sequence compression that makes
use of both statistical properties and repetition within sequences. A panel of experts is …
