Informational laws of genome structures

Informational laws of genome structures

In recent years, the analysis of genomes by means of strings of length k occurring in the genomes, called k-mers, has provided important insights into the basic mechanisms and design principles of genome structures. In the present study, we focus on the proper choice of the value of k for applying information theoretic concepts that express intrinsic aspects of genomes. The value k = lg2(n), wh...

Drafting Informational Privacy Laws: Information Science Perspective

In this paper, we describe an information science approach to drafting information privacy laws. Information scientists can contribute to the design of these laws not as mere technical experts, but rather as collaborators in design and construction of the legal text. Specifically, this paper concentrates on rules governing the handling of personal identifiable information (PII). First, we devel...

Distributive laws in programming structures

Generalised Distributive laws in Computer Science are rules governing the transformation of one programming structure into another. In programming, they are programs satisfying certain formal conditions. Their importance has been to date documented in several isolated cases by diverse formal approaches. These applications have always meant leaps in understanding the nature of the subject. Howev...

Informational Content of Factor Structures in Simultaneous Discrete Response Models

We study the informational content of factor structures in discrete triangular systems. Factor structures have been employed in a a variety of settings in cross sectional and panel data models, and in this paper we formal quantify their informational content in a bivariate system often employed in the treatment e↵ects literature. Our main findings are that under the factor structures often impo...
