First International School on Algebraic Statistics STID – Menton ( France ) February , 17 - 18 , 2003 Toric Statistical Models

In this tutorial we show the practical applicability of the algorithm described in the paper by Diaconis & Sturmfels (1998) who apply the algebraic theory of toric ideals to define a Markov Chain Monte Carlo method for sampling from conditional distributions, through the notion of Markov basis. For some basic concepts from Computational Commutative Algebra, such as polynomial ideal, term-orderi...

Cancer Immunity 3:18 (2003) - ARTICLE

HOM-MEL-40/SSX2 is a SEREX-defined cancer testis antigen with frequent expression in various human neoplasms. To search for HLA-A*0201 restricted peptides that induce HOM-MEL-40/SSX2-specific CD8+ responses in breast cancer patients, we used the SYFPEITHI algorithm to identify three HOM-MEL-40/SSX2derived nonamers with high binding affinity for HLA-A*0201, which has a prevalence of 40% in the C...

Finite Geometries, First Irsee Conference, 16-21 February, 2003

The conference was held in the small southern German town of Irsee in a former monastery. Outside, the ground was covered in snow. Inside there were 48 talks and 81 participants. The six main lectures were as follows: This volume contains 18 papers based on the talks given. They may be divided into six categories with their numbers of papers as follows:
