We propose a new method for decomposing seasonal data: seasonal-trend decomposition using regression (STR). Unlike other methods, STR allows multiple and cyclic components, covariates, patterns that may have noninteger periods, seasonality with complex topology. It can be used time series any regular index, including hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly data. is competitive existing met...

DNA typing with short tandem repeat (STR) markers is now widely used for a variety of applications including human identification. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) instruments, such as the ABI Prism 310 and ABI 3100 Genetic Analyzers, are the method of choice for many laboratories performing STR analysis. This review discusses issues surrounding sample preparation, injection, separation, detectio...

We present an approach to unsupervised concept formation, based on accumulation of partial regularities. Using an algorithmic complexity framework, we define regularity as a model that achieves a compressed coding of data, We discuss induction of models. We present induction of ftite automata models for regularities of strings, and induction of models based on vector translations for sets of po...

INTRODUCTION: The STR/ort strain of mouse, an inbred strain derived from STR/1N, has been reported to be an acceptable animal model for studying the development of osteoarthritis (OA) [1]. About 85% of all male mice spontaneously develop OA in the medial tibial plateau of the knee joint at 7-9 months of age. Importantly, histopathological changes in the lesions of the STR/ort mouse closely rese...

Objective(s): Short tandem repeat (STR) loci are the most informative DNA genetic markers for attempting to individualize biological material for application in paternity and forensic cases. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected and the total genomic DNA was extracted. The DNA samples were used for genotyping VWA and TPOX STR loci using PCR and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. ...

A new Bayesian allele-frequency approach to predicting the Y-chromosome haplogroup from a set of Y-STR marker values is presented and compared to other approaches. The method has been implemented in an Excel-based program, where an arbitrary number of STR markers may be input and a “goodness of fit” score for 15 haplogroups (C, E3a, E3b, G, H, I1a, I1b1, I1b2, J, L, N, O, Q, R1a, and R1b) and t...
