Over the last few years, the power law distribution has been used as the data generating
mechanism in many disparate fields. However, at times the techniques used to fit the power …

Metabolites can inhibit the enzymes that generate them. To explore the general nature of
metabolic self-inhibition, we surveyed enzymological data accrued from a century of …

Casualty counts are often controversial, and thorough research can only go so far in
resolving such debates—there will almost always be missing data, and thus, a need to draw …

Bioinformatics is an emerging area of science because technological advances in the field
of life sciences have led to the generation of increasingly accumulating large volumes of …

Estimating the number of casualties in the American Indian war: A Bayesian analysis using
the power law distribution Page 1 The Annals of Applied Statistics 2017, Vol. 11, No. 4, 2357–2374 …

Numerous databases containing information about DNA, RNA, and protein variations are
available. Gene‐specific variant databases (locus‐specific variation databases, LSDBs) are …

Motivation: Gene set enrichment has become a critical tool for interpreting the results of high-
throughput genomic experiments. Inconsistent annotation quality and lack of annotation …

Background Functional annotation of bacterial genomes is an obligatory and crucially
important step of information processing from the genome sequences into cellular …

A constant influx of new data poses a challenge in keeping the annotation in biological
databases current. Most biological databases contain significant quantities of textual …

To get a handle on the uncertainty in the parameter estimates, we use a bootstrapping
procedure, via the bootstrap function. This procedure can be applied to any distribution …
