Task analyses and chaining procedures are effective methods that behaviour analysts use for teaching skills to individuals on the autism spectrum. Breaking a skill into its individual components can help alleviate performance anxiety, teach acquisition ensure long-term maintenance. We examined whether, after training session, parents (n=7) were able construct task-analyses. Videos used practice...

We consider the problem of learning the structure of Ising models (pairwise binary Markov random fields) from i.i.d. samples. While several methods have been proposed to accomplish this task, their relative merits and limitations remain somewhat obscure. By analyzing a number of concrete examples, we show that low-complexity algorithms systematically fail when the Markov random field develops l...

Abstract Preimplantation genetic testing of embryos offers the opportunity to avoid transmission hereditary disorders offspring by selecting out affected a single gene mutation or mutations (PGT-M), structural rearrangements chromosomes (PGT-SR), aneuploidy (PGT-A) as well polygenic risk (PGT-P). Over last two decades, laboratory techniques have seen tremendous developments including extended e...
