Many peak detection algorithms have been proposed for ChIP-seq data analysis, but it is not obvious which method and what parameters are optimal for any given data set. In contrast, peaks can easily be located by visual inspection of profile data on a genome browser. We thus propose a supervised machine learning approach to ChIP-seq data analysis, using annotated regions that encode an expert’s...

In the past decade, accelerometer sensors became small enough to embed in mobile devices that people are using every day. Thus, arm movements became attractive to control mobile games and game consoles. However, there is no widely-used gesture-vocabulary for controlling devices and gesture recognition is not standardized. Furthermore, there is no widely-accepted benchmark for measuring performa...

We analyze the effects of capital adequacy regulation on bank insolvency and aggregate investment. We show that while the risk of bank insolvency may be reduced there are economic costs arising from repercussions of regulation on aggregate economic activity. Solvency regulation restricts loan supply and has adverse effects on investment. Using a model of the banking system that is characterized...

The performance of an autonomous mobile robot in mapping an unknown environment is strongly related to its exploration strategy. Evaluation and comparison of exploration strategies are still waiting for the definition of standard benchmark methodologies. In this paper, we contribute in this direction by discussing some critical issues we faced in experimentally evaluating exploration strategies.

In this work, a two prong dynamic paging activity data analysis is considered. The rrskyline analysis" studies how similar/dissimilar is the paging activity oj different node programs in SPMD execution mode. This analysis is done by determining the rate at which different events Deem", by isolating the peaks of activity from the background, and by correlating the time of occurrence and the ampl...

Energy consumption has been mostly neglected in network coding (NC) research so far. This work investigates several different properties of NC that influence the energy consumption and thus are important when designing NC systems for batterydriven devices. Different approaches to the necessary implementation of coding operations and Galois fields arithmetic are considered and complexity express...

The PSF of several sample arrays, including pseudo-random and circular arrays, are evaluated. The distribution of sidelobes is shown to closely follow the theoretical distribution derived in the companion paper [1]. An optimization procedure is developed that produces configurations with peak sidelobes close to the expected limit given in [1] and with a smooth progression from small peaks near ...

This paper presents the benchmark and performance methodology developed for the AMASE project. This project is developing lightweight Mobile Agent platform and transmission protocols for use on mobile devices, over the air interfaces such as GSM, GPRS or UMTS. Performance measures and control are critical in this environment where both the mobile device and transmission spectrum presents limite...
