Phylogeny Estimation and Hypothesis Testing Using Maximum Likelihood
One of the strengths of the maximum likelihood method of phylogenetic estimation is the ease with which hypotheses can be formulated and tested. Maximum likelihood analysis of D...

Molecular Mechanisms of Antibody Somatic Hypermutation
Functional antibody genes are assembled by V-D-J joining and then diversified by somatic hypermutation. This hypermutation results from stepwise incorporation of single nucleoti...

Network In Network
Abstract: We propose a novel deep network structure called In Network (NIN) to enhance model discriminability for local patches within the receptive field. The conventional con...
The impact of antenna diversity on the capacity of wireless communication systems
For a broad class of interference-dominated wireless systems including mobile, personal communications, and wireless PBX/LAN networks, the authors show that a significant increa...
Comparison of Bayesian and maximum-likelihood inference of population genetic parameters
Abstract Comparison of the performance and accuracy of different inference methods, such as maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference, is difficult because the inference me...
On the Capacity of Radio Communication Systems with Diversity in a Rayleigh Fading Environment
In this paper, we study the fundamental limits on the data rate of multiple antenna systems in a Rayleigh fading environment. With <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/Ma...
Recall and Consumer Consideration Sets: Influencing Choice without Altering Brand Evaluations
This article focuses on memory-based choice situations where changes in a brand's accessibility may affect the probability that it is retrieved and considered for choice. In suc...
Empirical tests of some predictions from coalescent theory with applications to intraspecific phylogeny reconstruction.
Abstract Empirical data sets of intraspecific restriction site polymorphism in Drosophila have been gathered in order to test hypotheses derived from coalescent theory. Three ma...
RevBayes: Bayesian Phylogenetic Inference Using Graphical Models and an Interactive Model-Specification Language
Programs for Bayesian inference of phylogeny currently implement a unique and fixed suite of models. Consequently, users of these software packages are simultaneously forced to u...
Selecting the Best-Fit Model of Nucleotide Substitution
Despite the relevant role of models of nucleotide substitution in phylogenetics, choosing among different models remains a problem. Several statistical methods for selecting the...
