Stieltjes moment problem via fractional moments
Stieltjes moment problem is considered to recover a probability density function from the knowledge of its infinite sequence of ordinary moments. The approximate density is obtain...

XSTREAM: A practical algorithm for identification and architecture modeling of tandem repeats in protein sequences
Background: Biological sequence repeats arranged in tandem patterns are widespread in DNA and proteins. While many software tools have been designed to detect DNA tandem repeats (...

Incorporating background frequency improves entropy-based residue conservation measures
Background: Several entropy-based methods have been developed for scoring sequence conservation in protein multiple sequence alignments. High scoring amino acid positions may corr...

The most probable annotation problem in HMMs and its application to bioinformatics
Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are often used for biological sequence annotation. Each sequence feature is represented by a collection of states with the same label. In annotating a ...

Lossless Compression Based on the Sequence Memoizer
In this work we describe a sequence compression method based on combining a Bayesian nonparametric sequence model with entropy encoding. The model, a hierarchy of Pitman-Yor proce...
