A method for parameter optimization in computational biology.
Models in computational biology, such as those used in binding, docking, and folding, are often empirical and have adjustable parameters. Because few of these models are yet fully predictive, the problem may be nonoptimal choices of parameters. We describe an algorithm called ENPOP (energy function parameter optimization) that improves-and sometimes optimizes-the parameters for any given model ...
متن کاملCombinatorial Optimization in Computational Biology
Combinatorial Optimization is a central sub-area in Operations Research that has found many applications in computational biology. In this talk I will survey some of my research in computational biology that uses graph theory, matroid theory, and integer linear programming. The biological applications come from haplotyping, the study of recombination and recombination networks, and phylogenetic...
متن کاملOptimization Algorithms for Computational Systems Biology
Computational systems biology aims at integrating biology and computational methods to gain a better understating of biological phenomena. It often requires the assistance of global optimization to adequately tune its tools. This review presents three powerful methodologies for global optimization that fit the requirements of most of the computational systems biology applications, such as model...
متن کاملOptimization in Computational Chemistry and Molecular Biology
The past decade has brought major advances in the quality and variety of methods for computerized drug design and molecular docking, making the area ripe for the implementation of hybrid algorithms. Hybrid methods create improved algorithms from existing ones by mixing techniques in a way that maximizes advantages and minimizes disadvantages. Here, we outline a hybrid method for molecular docki...
متن کاملDerivative-Free Optimization for Parameter Estimation in Computational Nuclear Physics
We consider optimization problems that arise when estimating a set of unknown parameters from experimental data, particularly in the context of nuclear density functional theory. We examine the cost of not having derivatives of these functionals with respect to the parameters. We show that the POUNDERS code for local derivative-free optimization obtains consistent solutions on a variety of comp...
