Threshold and majority group testing
, 2011
"... We consider two generalizations of group testing: threshold group testing (introduced by Damaschke [7]) and majority group testing (a further generalization, including threshold group testing and a model introduced by Lebedev [14]). We show that each separating code gives a nonadaptive strategy for ..."

In addition, the BAI was moderately correlated with the revised Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, r(150) =.51, and was only mildly correlated with the revised Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, r
Estimating the number of clusters in a dataset via the Gap statistic
, 2000
"... We propose a method (the \Gap statistic") for estimating the number of clusters (groups) in a set of data. The technique uses the output of any clustering algorithm (e.g. k-means or hierarchical), comparing the change in within cluster dispersion to that expected under an appropriate reference ..."

"... This review collates and examines critically a theoretically convergent but widely dispersed body of research on the influence of external environments on the functioning of families as contexts of human development. Investigations falling within this expanding domain include studies of the interac ..."

Quartet puzzling: a quartet maximum likelihood method for reconstructing tree topologies.
- Mol. Biol. Evol.
, 1996
"... A versatile method, quartet puzzling, is introduced to reconstruct the topology (branching pattern) of a phylogenetic tree based on DNA or amino acid sequence data. This method applies maximum-likelihood tree reconstruction to all possible quartets that can be formed from n sequences. The quartet t ..."
