A New S-­test for Haplotype Analysis: Concordance and Discordance

A new test of inheritance, S, is proposed, which uses information from affected as well as unaffected siblings in the fam­ ily. The siblings are analyzed in terms of similarities of haplotypes. The distribution of the proposed S­test is derived under the null hypothesis of random inheritance. Mean and variance are obtained for the distribution. The test is then applied to data sets publ...

Using Nesterov\'s Excessive Gap Method as Basic Procedure in Chubanov\'s Method for Solving a Homogeneous Feasibility Problem

We deal with a recently proposed method of Chubanov [1], for solving linear homogeneous systems with positive variables. We use Nesterov's excessive gap method in the basic procedure. As a result, the iteration bound for the basic procedure is reduced by the factor $nsqrt{n}$. The price for this improvement is that the iterations are more costly, namely $O(n^2 )$ instead of $O(n)$. The overall ...
