A Further Note on Runs in Independent Sequences

Given a sequence of letters generated independently from a finite alphabet, we consider the case when more than one, but not all, letters are generated with the highest probability. The length of the longest run of any of these letters is shown to be one greater than the length of the longest run in a particular state of an associated Markov chain. Using results of Foulser and Karlin (19...

Temporal myosin heavy chain isoform expression transitions faster in broiler chickens compared with Single Comb White Leghorns.

Myosin heavy chain (MyHC), one of the major components in the contractile machinery of skeletal muscle fibers, is found in several isoforms during myogenesis. During chicken development, embryonic, neonatal, and adult MyHC isoforms are expressed. Broiler chickens have been selected for fast and large muscle growth, whereas Single Comb White Leghorn (SCWL) chickens have been selected for egg lay...

A Further Note on Alternatives to Bpref

This paper compares the robustness of information retrieval (IR) metrics to incomplete relevance assessments, using four different sets of graded-relevance test collections with submitted runs – two from TREC and two from NTCIR. We investigate the effect of reducing the original relevance data on discriminative power (i.e., how often statistical significance can be detected given the probabilit...
