Obtaining an accurate multiple alignment of protein sequences is a difficult computational problem for which many heuristic techniques sacrifice optimality to achieve reasonable r...
Traditional Thurstone scaling (1927) constructs a perceptual scale from pairwise comparisons without providing statistical inferences. We show that subjective preferences for movi...
