Separation of overlapping subpopulations by mutual information
Identifying ancestral sequences is an important first step in understanding population history and dynamics. However, several interesting cases including human genetic variation feature highly overlapping subpopulations, whose ancestral subpopulations differ by fewer than the average number of mutations between members of the same population. In such cases both flat and hierarchical distance-ba...
متن کاملThe Rationality of Prejudices
We model an N-player repeated prisoner's dilemma in which players are given traits (e.g., height, age, wealth) which, we assume, affect their behavior. The relationship between traits and behavior is unknown to other players. We then analyze the performance of "prejudiced" strategies--strategies that draw inferences based on the observation of some or all of these traits, and extrapolate the in...
متن کاملNormalized Mutual Information to evaluate overlapping community finding algorithms
Given the increasing popularity of algorithms for overlapping clustering, in particular in social network analysis, quantitative measures are needed to measure the accuracy of a method. Given a set of true clusters, and the set of clusters found by an algorithm, these sets of clusters must be compared to see how similar or different the sets are. A normalized measure is desirable in many contex...
متن کاملMatching Attributes across Overlapping Heterogeneous Data Sources Using Mutual Information
Identifying matching attributes across heterogeneous data sources is a critical and time-consuming step in integrating the data sources. In this paper, the author proposes a method for matching the most frequently encountered types of attributes across overlapping heterogeneous data sources. The author uses mutual information as a unified measure of dependence on various types of attributes. An...
متن کاملPlacebo: misunderstandings and prejudices.
BACKGROUND The role of placebos is often misunderstood, leading both to overvaluation and to inappropriate disdain. The effect of a placebo that contains no pharmacologically active substance is often confused with the effect of administration by a physician. The aim of this article is to review the current data on placebos, evaluate these data critically, and provide a well-founded and underst...
