Bayesian Hierarchical Clustering for Studying Cancer Gene Expression Data with Unknown Statistics
(
Public Library of Science
, 2013 , Article)
Clustering analysis is an important tool in studying gene expression data. The Bayesian hierarchical clustering (BHC) algorithm can automatically infer the number of clusters and uses Bayesian model selection to improve ...
Scale development on consumer behavior toward counterfeit drugs in a developing country: A quantitative study exploiting the tools of an evolving paradigm
(2013 , Article)
Background: Although desperate need and drug counterfeiting are linked in developing countries, little research has been carried out to address this link, and there is a lack of proper tools and methodology. This study ...
Understanding challenges to food security in dry Arab micro-states: Evidence from Qatari micro-data
(
Walter de Gruyter
, 2013 , Article)
Using Qatar as a case study, we exploit a novel microdata set for 102 raw agricultural imported commodities on a shipment-by-shipment basis over the period January 1, 2005 to June 30, 2010. The data comprise over half a ...

A comparison of quadratic TFDs for entropy based detection of components time supports in multicomponent nonstationary signal mixtures
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Separation of different signal components, produced by one or more sources, is a problem encountered in many signal processing applications. This paper proposes a fully automatic undetermined blind source separation method, ...
Iterated unscented Kalman filter-based maximum power point tracking for photovoltaic applications
(2013 , Conference Paper)
One of main challenges in harvesting power from a PV source is maximum power point tracking (MPPT). This is due to the nonlinear behaviour and characteristics of PV arrays. Conventional MPPT techniques usually utilize a ...
