In this article, we study the problem of distributed selection from a theoretical point of view. Given a general connected graph of diameter D consisting of n nodes in which each ...
Background: In the study of adaptive evolution, it is important to detect the protein coding sites where natural selection is acting. In general, the ratio of the rate of non-syno...

Background: FREGENE simulates sequence-level data over large genomic regions in large populations. Because, unlike coalescent simulators, it works forwards through time, it allows...

Background: Two problems complicate the study of selection in viral genomes: Firstly, the presence of genes in overlapping reading frames implies that selection in one reading fra...

Background: Feature selection techniques are critical to the analysis of high dimensional datasets. This is especially true in gene selection from microarray data which are common...

Background: Natural selection eliminates detrimental and favors advantageous phenotypes. This process leaves characteristic signatures in underlying genomic segments that can be r...
, reproductive value, soft selectionAbstract Structural complexity characterizes our representations of dissipative structures. As a mechanistic concept, when referred to natural s...
Simulation plays a vital role in identifying the best system design from among a set of competing designs. To improve simulation efficiency, ranking and selection techniques are o...

The design of deterministic and fair mechanisms for selection among a set of self-motivated agents based solely on these agents' input is a major challenge in multiagent syst...
