UNLABELLED Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) is a powerful quantification technique for gene expression data. The huge amount of tag data in SAGE libraries of samples is difficult to analyze with current SAGE analysis tools. Data is often not provided in a biologically significant way for cross-analysis and -comparison, thus limiting its application. Hence, an integrated software platfo...

UWB signals have become popular for ranging and positioning systems. Since such systems require the extraction of location related information from the radio channel, efficient methods are required to obtain the parameters of interest. This paper presents a simple extension to the SAGE algorithm that makes the algorithm suitable for analyzing UWB channels. It is demonstrated that a phased array...

Socio-economic predictors of chronic diseases in Ghana are not well understood and their influence has been relatively overlooked. This paper seeks to examine the influence of socio-economic predictors of chronic diseases in Ghanaians three different age groups. The data employed in the study were drawn from Global Ageing and Adult Health survey conducted in Ghana by SAGE and was based on the d...

Radio Interferometry is an essential method for astronomical observations. Self-calibration techniques have increased the quality of the radio astronomical observations (and hence the science) by orders of magnitude. Recently, there is a drive towards sensor arrays built using inexpensive hardware and distributed over a wide area acting as radio interferometers. Calibration of such arrays poses...

Based on the space alternating generalized expectation maximization (SAGE) technique, and the ordered serial interference cancellation (OSIC) algorithm, an improved low-complexity inter-carrier interference (ICI) mitigation scheme, named SAGE-OSIC, is proposed for high mobile orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, where the subcarriers are updated in series, according to the...

Analysis of several million expressed gene signatures (tags) revealed an increasing number of different sequences, largely exceeding that of annotated genes in mammalian genomes. Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) can reveal new RNAs transcribed from previously unrecognized genomic regions. However, conventional SAGE tags are too short to identify unambiguously unique sites in large geno...

This paper describes a new sampling-based heuristic for tree search named SAGE and presents an analysis of its performance on the problem of grammar induction. This last work has been inspired by the Abbadingo DFA learning competition [14] which took place between Mars and November 1997. SAGE ended up as one of the two winners in that competition. The second winning algorithm, rst proposed by R...

Regularized risk minimization often involves non-smooth optimization, either because of the loss function (e.g., hinge loss) or the regularizer (e.g., l1-regularizer). Gradient methods, though highly scalable and easy to implement, are known to converge slowly. In this paper, we develop a novel accelerated gradient method for stochastic optimization while still preserving their computational si...

Low complexity equalization with LSRQ and GMRES algorithm is compared with traditional equalization methods. As the next generation technologies like LTE and WiMax have a large number of subcarriers the traditional equalization methods like MF, ZF, MMSE, VBLAST, and SAGE which require matrix inversion become highly complex in time and consume a lot of time to equalize the received signal. An al...
