BioOptimizer: a Bayesian scoring function approach to motif discovery
MOTIVATION Transcription factors (TFs) bind directly to short segments on the genome, often within hundreds to thousands of base pairs upstream of gene transcription start sites, to regulate gene expression. The experimental determination of TFs binding sites is expensive and time-consuming. Many motif-finding programs have been developed, but no program is clearly superior in all situations. P...
متن کاملA Bayesian Approach to Causal Discovery
We examine the Bayesian approach to the discovery of directed acyclic causal models and compare it to the constraint-based approach. Both approaches rely on the Causal Markov assumption, but the two di er signi cantly in theory and practice. An important di erence between the approaches is that the constraint-based approach uses categorical information about conditional-independence constraints...
متن کاملBayesian Centroid Estimation for Motif Discovery
Biological sequences may contain patterns that signal important biomolecular functions; a classical example is regulation of gene expression by transcription factors that bind to specific patterns in genomic promoter regions. In motif discovery we are given a set of sequences that share a common motif and aim to identify not only the motif composition, but also the binding sites in each sequenc...
متن کاملA Bayesian Approach to a Renewal Function
The historical data on the consumption of spares are usually available in the form that the renewal function of the item could not easily be obtained by the process described by Cox1. In this paper, b technique is discussed as to how such data be used for the renewal functions through Bayesian approach. A Beta a Priori density for the parameter of Poisson demand is assumed and the Predictive de...
متن کاملA BAYESIAN APPROACH TO COMPUTING MISSING REGRESSOR VALUES
In this article, Lindley's measure of average information is used to measure the information contained in incomplete observations on the vector of unknown regression coefficients [9]. This measure of information may be used to compute the missing regressor values.
