Evaluation of several lightweight stochastic context-free grammars for RNA secondary structure prediction
Background: RNA secondary structure prediction methods based on probabilistic modeling can be developed using stochastic context-free grammars (SCFGs). Such methods can readily co...

Characterizing and predicting value degree of use
A value’s degree of use—the number of dynamic uses of that value—provides the most essential information needed to optimize its communication. We present simulation results ...
