Estimating Expansion Rates from Range Data Sequences
We present a method to compute surface expansion rates from sequences of range data. Towards this end the 3D velocity field (range flow) is extracted first and then used in a second step to estimate the local area expansion. A detailed performance analysis is presented and the method is applied on two real examples.
متن کاملEstimating hypermutation rates from clonal tree data.
To understand the mechanisms underlying the varying patterns of mutations that occur during immune and autoimmune responses, estimates of the somatic hypermutation rate are critical. However, despite its significance, precise estimates of the mutation rate do not currently exist. Microdissection studies of mutating B cell clones provide an opportunity to measure this rate more accurately than p...
متن کاملEstimating recombination rates from population genetic data.
We introduce a new method for estimating recombination rates from population genetic data. The method uses a computationally intensive statistical procedure (importance sampling) to calculate the likelihood under a coalescent-based model. Detailed comparisons of the new algorithm with two existing methods (the importance sampling method of Griffiths and Marjoram and the MCMC method of Kuhner an...
متن کاملEstimating survival from partially observed data
Often, in cross-sectional-follow-up studies, survival data are obtained from prevalent cases only. This sampling mechanism introduces lenght-bias. An added difficulty is that in some cases the times of the onset cannot be ascertained or are recorded with great uncertainty. Such was the situation in the Canadian Study of Health and Aging (CSHA), an ongoing nation-wide study of dementia conducted...
متن کاملEstimating reference fishing mortality rates from noisy spawner-recruit data
We review and evaluate methods of estimating reference fishing mortality rates from spawner-recruit (SR) data to obtain maximum sustainable yield. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we found that a reference fishing mortality rate derived from the maximum likelihood estimates of the SR parameters was less biased than reference fishing mortality rates obtained using the mode of the marginal probabil...
