How precise are reported protein coordinate data?

Atomic coordinates in the Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) are generally reported to greater precision than the experimental structure determinations have actually achieved. By using information theory and data compression to study the compressibility of protein atomic coordinates, it is possible to quantify the amount of randomness in the coordinate data and thereby to determine the realist...

How reliable are experimental protein-protein interaction data?

Data of protein-protein interactions provide valuable insight into the molecular networks underlying a living cell. However, their accuracy is often questioned, calling for a rigorous assessment of their reliability. The computation offered here provides an intelligible mean to assess directly the rate of true positives in a data set of experimentally determined interacting protein pairs. We sh...

HURST EXPONENTS FOR NON-PRECISE DATA

We provide a framework for the study of statistical quantitiesrelated to the Hurst phenomenon when the data are non-precise with boundedsupport.

Missing data: a systematic review of how they are reported and handled.

BACKGROUND The objectives of this systematic review are to examine how researchers report missing data in questionnaires and to provide an overview of current methods for dealing with missing data. METHODS We included 262 studies published in 2010 in 3 leading epidemiologic journals. Information was extracted on how missing data were reported, types of missing, and methods for dealing with mi...
