Steady-state MSE performance analysis of mixture approaches to adaptive filtering
In this paper, we consider mixture approaches that adaptively combine outputs of several parallel running adaptive algorithms. These parallel units can be considered as diversity b...

Grouping Gene Ontology terms to improve the assessment of gene set enrichment in microarray data
Background: Gene Ontology (GO) terms are often used to assess the results of microarray experiments. The most common way to do this is to perform Fisher's exact tests to find...
