Analysis of Information Content for Biological Sequences
Decomposing a biological sequence into modular domains is a basic prerequisite to identify functional units in biological molecules. The commonly used segmentation procedures usually have two steps. First, collect and align a set of sequences that are homologous to the target sequence. Then, parse this multiple alignment into several blocks and identify the functionally important ones by using ...
متن کاملFeature Space Transformation for Better Understanding Biological and Medical Classifications
Recently published gene expression profiles and proteomic mass/charge ratios are extremely high-dimensional data. Though support vector machines can well learn the inner relationship of the data for classification, the non-linear kernel functions pose an obstacle to explain the prediction reasons to non-specialists. In this paper, we study the problem of feature space transformation for easy in...
متن کاملInformation content of sets of biological sequences revisited
To analyze the information included in a pool of amino-acid sequences, a first approach is to align the sequences, to estimate the probability of each amino-acid to occur within columns of the aligned sequences and to combine these values through an ”entropy” function whose minimum corresponds to absence of information, that is to the case where each amino-acid has the same probability to occur...
متن کاملUsing Uncertainty Information to Combine Soft Classifications
The classification of remote sensing images performed with different classifiers usually produces different results. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether the outputs of different soft classifications may be combined to increase the classification accuracy, using the uncertainty information to choose the best class to assign to each pixel. If there is disagreement between the outputs ...
متن کاملInformation-Theoretic Measures for Objective Evaluation of Classifications
This work presents a systematic study of objective evaluations of abstaining classifications using Information-Theoretic Measures (ITMs). First, we define objective measures for which they do not depend on any free parameter. This definition provides technical simplicity for examining “objectivity” or “subjectivity” directly to classification evaluations. Second, we propose twenty four normaliz...
