Measuring cell identity in noisy biological systems
Global gene expression measurements are increasingly obtained as a function of cell type, spatial position within a tissue and other biologically meaningful coordinates. Such data should enable quantitative analysis of the cell-type specificity of gene expression, but such analyses can often be confounded by the presence of noise. We introduce a specificity measure Spec that quantifies the info...
متن کاملCooperativity in biological systems
Living organisms can sense and respond to external and internal stimuli. Response isdemonstrated in many forms including modulation of gene expression profiles, motility,secretion, cell death, etc. Nevertheless, all forms share a basic property: they depend on sensingsmall changes in the concentration of an effector molecule or subtle conformational changes ina protein and invoking the appropri...
متن کاملBiometrics ’ new identity — measuring more physical and biological traits
T here is no need to remember complex combinations of random numbers and characters. From now on, you are the password: your fingerprint, face, iris, gait or odour—any of your potentially unique attributes—can theoretically be used to identify you. This is the idea behind biometrics, which was once confined to the realm of spy movies and high-security facilities, but is now increasingly common ...
متن کاملIdentity Authentication over Noisy Channels
Identity authentication is the process of verifying users’ validity. Unlike classical key-based authentications, which are built on noiseless channels, this paper introduces a general analysis and design framework for identity authentication over noisy channels. Specifically, the authentication scenarios of single time and multiple times are investigated. For each scenario, the lower bound on t...
متن کاملMeasuring Sparseness of Noisy Signals
In this paper sparseness measures are reviewed, extended and compared. Special attention is paid on measuring sparseness of noisy data. We review and extend several definitions and measures for sparseness, including the , p and norms. A measure based on order statistics is also proposed. The concept of sparseness is extended to the case where a signal has a dominant value other than zero. The s...
