A Probabilistic Coverage Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
—We propose a new probabilistic coverage protocol (denoted by PCP) that considers probabilistic sensing models. PCP is fairly general and can be used with different sensing model...

Stratification bias in low signal microarray studies
Background: When analysing microarray and other small sample size biological datasets, care is needed to avoid various biases. We analyse a form of bias, stratification bias, that...
