It is instrumental to the realization of all components of the HRBAD, as well as retaining trust in official and other relevant data and statistics.7 Participation of relevant Involvement of groups of population groups in data interest in all aspects of data collection exercises, including collection activities planning, data collection, dissemination and All data collection exercises should include analysis of data means for free, active and meaningful participation of relevant stakeholders, in particular the most marginalized population groups.

  • Cluster Analysis for Gene Expression Data: a Survey
    Cluster Analysis for Gene Expression Data: A Survey Daxin Jiang Chun Tang Aidong Zhang Department of Computer Science and Engineering State University of New York at Buffalo Email: djiang3, chuntang, azhang @cse.buffalo.edu Abstract DNA microarray technology has now made it possible to simultaneously monitor the expres- sion levels of thousands of genes during important biological processes and across collections of related samples. Elucidating the patterns hidden in gene expression data offers a tremen- dous opportunity for an enhanced understanding of functional genomics. However, the large number of genes and the complexity of biological networks greatly increase the challenges of comprehending and interpreting the resulting mass of data, which often consists of millions of measurements. A first step toward addressing this challenge is the use of clustering techniques, which is essential in the data mining process to reveal natural structures and identify interesting patterns in the underlying data. Cluster analysis seeks to partition a given data set into groups based on specified features so that the data points within a group are more similar to each other than the points in different groups. A very rich literature on cluster analysis has developed over the past three decades. Many conventional clustering algorithms have been adapted or directly applied to gene expres- sion data, and also new algorithms have recently been proposed specifically aiming at gene ex- pression data. These clustering algorithms have been proven useful for identifying biologically relevant groups of genes and samples. In this paper, we first briefly introduce the concepts of microarray technology and discuss the basic elements of clustering on gene expression data.

  • How Did Language Begin?
    How did language begin? Written by Ray Jackendoff What does the question mean? In asking about the origins of human language, we first have to make clear what the question is. The question is not how languages gradually developed over time into the languages of the world today. Rather, it is how the human species developed over time so that we — and not our closest relatives, the chimpanzees and bonobos — became capable of using language. And what an amazing development this was! No other natural communication system is like human language. Human language can express thoughts on an unlimited number of topics (the weather, the war, the past, the future, mathematics, gossip, fairy tales, how to fix the sink...). It can be used not just to convey information, but to solicit information (ques- tions) and to give orders. Unlike any other animal communication system, it contains an expression for negation — what is not the case. Every human lan- guage has a vocabulary of tens of thousands of words, built up from several dozen speech sounds. Speakers can build an unlimited number of phrases and sentences out of words plus a smallish collec- tion of prefixes and suffixes, and the meanings of sentences are built from the meanings of the individ- ual words. What is still more remarkable is that every normal child learns the whole system from hearing others use it. Animal communication systems, in contrast, typically have at most a few dozen distinct calls, and they are used only to communicate immediate issues such as food, danger, threat, or reconciliation.
