The future of biology and biomedicine lies at the intersection of data gathering, hypothesis generation, and hypothesis testing. It is increasingly easy to gather large amounts of relevant data, but interpretation of that data and connection of that data to downstream hypothesis-driven experimentation is still difficult and rare. Effectively integrating large scale data analysis with “wet” biol...

In their seminal paper Groves and Ledyard (1976) construct a balanced incentive compatible mechanism that solves the free-rider problem. In subsequent research, Bergstrom, Simon, and Titus (1983) prove that there exist numerous asymmetric equilibria in addition to the symmetric equilibrium. In the present paper we explicitly solve for the additional equilibria and use computational experiments ...

In this paper, we describe all interior and boundary equilibria of the GrovesLedyard mechanism and test their stability. We provide closed form solutions for the equilibria discovered by Bergstrom, Simon, and Titus and show that these equilibria fail to exist when the punishment parameter is high. We further show that the Groves-Ledyard equilibrium is the unique stable interior equilibrium for ...

This paper proposes an approach for developing pedagogical interventions support in information technologies for education based on Bayesian networks. In this paper, we show how the presented approach is able to automate pedagogical interventions in Model-tracing cognitive tutors (MTCTs). The paper discusses a novel Bayesian network topology to assess student’s mastery to provide pedagogical in...

To evaluate the effects on growth of inhaled corticosteroid treatment (ICT) and of the quality of control of asthma, height velocity was studied in 58 prepubertal children attending a specialist asthma clinic because of chronic asthma that was difficult to control. The height velocity standard deviation (SD) score was maximal when the asthma was well controlled both before (0-01) and after (-0....
