چکیده
There are errors in Equation (3). In the description of Equation (3), the equilibrium frequencies PIX are incorrectly defined in terms of pi, where in fact they should be defined in terms of phi. Please see the corrected description of Equation (3) here.

Correcting the Bias of Empirical Frequency Parameter Estimators in Codon Models
Markov models of codon substitution are powerful inferential tools for studying biological processes such as natural selection and preferences in amino acid substitution. The equilibrium character distributions of these models are almost always estimated using nucleotide frequencies observed in a sequence alignment, primarily as a matter of historical convention. In this note, we demonstrate th...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimators with Uncertainty Measures for NEF-QVF Populations
The paper proposes empirical Bayes (EB) estimators for simultaneous estimation of means in the natural exponential family (NEF) with quadratic variance functions (QVF) models. Morris (1982, 1983a) characterized the NEF-QVF distributions which include among others the binomial, Poisson and normal distributions. In addition to the EB estimators, we provide approximations to the MSE’s of t...

First published May 19, 2010; doi:10.1152/jn.00610.2009. The coherence between oscillatory activity in local field potentials (LFPs) and single neuron action potentials, or spikes, has been suggested as a neural substrate for the representation of inf...
متن کاملCodon bias patterns in photosynthetic genes of halophytic grass Aeluropus littoralis
Codon bias refers to the differences in the frequency of occurrence of synonymous codons in coding DNA. Pattern of codon and optimum codon utilization is significantly different between the lives. This difference is due to the long term function of natural selection and evolution process. Genetics drift, mutation and regulation of gene expression are the main reasons for codon bias. In this stu...
متن کاملLimiting Properties of Empirical Bayes Estimators in a Two-Factor Experiment under Inverse Gaussian Model
The empirical Bayes estimators of treatment effects in a factorial experiment were derived and their asymptotic properties were explored. It was shown that they were asymptotically optimal and the estimator of the scale parameter had a limiting gamma distribution while the estimators of the factor effects had a limiting multivariate normal distribution. A Bootstrap analysis was performed to ill...
