The control of the false discovery rate in multiple testing under dependency
- Annals of Statistics
, 2001
"... Benjamini and Hochberg suggest that the false discovery rate may be the appropriate error rate to control in many applied multiple testing problems. A simple procedure was given there as an FDR controlling procedure for independent test statistics and was shown to be much more powerful than comparab ..."

Application of Phylogenetic Networks in Evolutionary Studies
- SUBMITTED TO MBE 2005
, 2005
"... The evolutionary history of a set of taxa is usually represented by a phylogenetic tree, and this model has greatly facilitated the discussion and testing of hypotheses. However, it is well known that more complex evolutionary scenarios are poorly described by such models. Further, even when evoluti ..."

a conservative statistical test for whether the conflicting signal in a network is treelike. Finally, this paper describes a new program SplitsTree4, an interactive and comprehensive tool for inferring different types of phylogenetic networks from sequences, distances and trees.
RCS -- a system for version control
, 1991
"... An important problem in program development and maintenance is version control, i.e., the task of keeping a software system consisting of many versions and configurations well organized. The Revision Control System (RCS) is a software tool that assists with that task. RCS manages revisions of text d ..."

It automates the storing, retrieval, logging and identification of revisions, and it provides selection mechanisms for composing configurations. This paper introduces basic version control concepts and discusses the practice of version
Efficient Implementation of Weighted ENO Schemes
, 1995
"... In this paper, we further analyze, test, modify and improve the high order WENO (weighted essentially non-oscillatory) finite difference schemes of Liu, Osher and Chan [9]. It was shown by Liu et al. that WENO schemes constructed from the r th order (in L¹ norm) ENO schemes are (r +1) th order accur ..."

waves. We also prove that, for conservation laws with smooth solutions, all WENO schemes are convergent. Many numerical tests, including the 1D steady state nozzle flow problem and 2D shock entropy waveinteraction problem, are presented to demonstrate the remarkable capability of the WENO schemes
Conservation of resources: A new attempt at conceptualizing stress
- American Psychologist
, 1989
"... ABSTRACT: Major perspectives concerning stress are presented with the goal of clarifying the nature of what has proved to be a heuristic but vague construct. Current conceptualizations ofstress are challenged as being too phenomenological and ambiguous, and consequently, not given to direct empirica ..."

A new stress model called the model of con-servation of resources i presented as an alternative. This resource-oriented model
Genetic Algorithms, Noise, and the Sizing of Populations
- COMPLEX SYSTEMS
, 1991
"... This paper considers the effect of stochasticity on the quality of convergence of genetic algorithms (GAs). In many problems, the variance of building-block fitness or so-called collateral noise is the major source of variance, and a population-sizing equation is derived to ensure that average sig ..."

, and the explicit noise or nondeterminism of the objective function. In a test suite of five functions, the sizing relation proves to be a conservative predictor of average correct convergence, as long as all major sources of noise are considered in the sizing calculation. These results suggest how the sizing
Microbial gene identification using interpolated Markov models
- Nucleic Acids Research
, 1998
"... This paper describes a new system, GLIMMER, for finding genes in microbial genomes. In a series of tests on Haemophilus influenzae, Helicobacter pylori and other complete microbial genomes, this system has proven to be very accurate at locating virtually all the genes in these sequences, outperformi ..."

Sample Splitting and Threshold Estimation
- Econometrica
, 2000
"... Threshold models have a wide variety of applications in economics. Direct applications include models of separating and multiple equilibria. Other applications include empirical sample splitting when the sample split is based on a continuously-distributed variable such as firm size. In addition, thr ..."

of potential applications, the statistical theory of threshold estimation is undeveloped. It is known that threshold estimates are super-consistent, but a distribution theory useful for testing and inference has yet to be provided. This paper develops a statistical theory for threshold estimation
Pedigree disequilibrium tests for multilocus haplotypes
- Genet. Epidemiol
"... Association tests of multilocus haplotypes are of interest both in linkage disequilibrium mapping and in candidate gene studies. For case-parent trios, I discuss the extension of existing multilocus methods to include ambiguous haplotypes in tests of models which distinguish between the cis and tran ..."

For general pedigrees, I describe extensions of the pedigree disequilibrium test to include uncertain haplotypes. The summary statistics are replaced by their expected
Evolving Mobile Robots in Simulated and Real Environments

The problem of the validity of simulation is particularly relevant for methodologies that use machine learning techniques to develop control systems for autonomous robots, like, for instance, the Artificial Life approach named Evolutionary Robotics. In fact, despite that it has been demonstrated ..."
