Circuits having various combinations of R, L and C are the building blocks for many important areas of study in electrical engineering and also used extensively in communication systems for design and development of filters and oscillators. Hence, effective simulation (or prediction) of such systems is imperative. This paper explores the ability of MATLAB/Simulink®1 to achieve this feat with re...

Short description of the prior and the MCMC specification details is given here. See (Neal, 1996, 1997, 1999; Lampinen & Vehtari, 2001) and the FBM software manual (Neal, 2000) for additional details. The MCMC sampling was done with the FBM1 software and Matlab-code derived from the Netlab2 toolbox. FBM was used when possible (normal and logistic models) because of its speed. Matlab-based imple...

In the present paper, we review some programming languages and computer software used to investigate basic psychological processes. In the fi rst section, we address the principles and logical structure of the most common programming languages (e.g. C, C++, Java, Matlab, R, Python), and in the second section we present some of their applications to psychological research. Finally, we discuss th...

MOTIVATION Finding genes that are preferentially expressed in a particular tissue or condition is a problem that cannot be solved by standard statistical testing procedures. A relatively unknown procedure that can be used is the intersection-union test (IUT). However, two disadvantages of the IUT are that it is conservative and it conveys only the information of the least differing target tissu...

An exposition on the use of O’Sullivan penalized splines in contemporary semiparametric regression, including mixed model and Bayesian formulations, is presented. O’Sullivan penalized splines are similar to P-splines, but have the advantage of being a direct generalization of smoothing splines. Exact expressions for the O’Sullivan penalty matrix are obtained. Comparisons between the two types o...

The recently proposed generalized epidemic modeling framework (GEMF) [1] lays the groundwork for systematically constructing a broad spectrum of stochastic spreading processes over complex networks. This article builds an algorithm for exact, continuous-time numerical simulation of GEMF-based processes. Moreover the implementation of this algorithm, GEMFsim, is available in popular scientific p...

Molecular biology is a scientific discipline which has changed fundamentally in character over the past decade to rely on large scale datasets – public and locally generated and their computational analysis and annotation. Undergraduate education of biologists must increasingly couple this domain context with a data-driven computational scientific method. Yet modern programming and scripting la...
