Background: Some distance methods are among the most commonly used methods for reconstructing phylogenetic trees from sequence data. The input to a distance method is a distance m...
Background: A mathematical model to understand, predict, control, or even design a real biological system is a central theme in systems biology. A dynamic biological system is alw...
We study efficient importance sampling techniques for particle filtering (PF) when either (a) the observation likelihood (OL) is frequently multimodal or heavy-tailed, or (b) the s...
This paper considers nonlinear modeling based on a limited amount of experimental data and a simulator built from prior knowledge. The problem of how to best incorporate the data ...
In mobile robotics, there are often features that, while potentially powerful for improving navigation, prove difficult to profit from as they generalize poorly to novel situations...
