  • 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.

Newman Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering University of California, Berkeley Professor Alice Agogino, Chair Information Scaffolding is a user-centered approach to information design; a method devised to aid “everyday” authors in information composition. Information Scaffolding places a premium on audience-centered documents by emphasizing the information needs and motivations of a multimedia document's intended audience. The aim of this method is to structure information in such a way that an intended audience can gain a fuller understanding of the information presented and is able to incorporate knowledge for future use. Information Scaffolding looks to strengthen the quality of a document’s impact both on the individual and on the broader, ongoing disciplinary discussion, by better couching a document’s contents in a manner relevant to the user. Thus far, instructional research design has presented varying suggested guidelines for the design of multimedia instructional materials (technical animations, dynamic computer simulations, etc.), primarily do’s and don’ts.

  • Leaks, Sabotage, and Information Design∗
    Leaks, Sabotage, and Information Design∗ Aaron Kolby Erik Madsenz February 2, 2019 Abstract We study optimal dynamic information disclosure by a principal to an agent of uncer- tain loyalty who may engage in hidden undermining, for instance through damaging leaks or sabotage. The agent requires information to correctly perform a task but may also covertly commit destructive acts which are only stochastically detectable. The principal optimally provides inconclusive incremental guidance until a deterministic time when the agent is deemed trusted and given a conclusive final report. Disloyal agents are never given incentives to feign loyalty, and in the unique time-consistent implementation undermine with variable, non-monotonic intensity over the lifetime of employment. JEL Classification: C70, D82, D83, D86, M51 Keywords: information leaks, sabotage, principal-agent model, information design 1 Introduction An organization has found itself the victim of information leaks and sabotage. Sensitive documents have been leaked to the media, corporate secrets have been sold to competitors, obscure vulnerable points in production lines have been discovered and sabotaged. An insider with access to privileged information must be undermining the organization | but who? Halting the distribution of sensitive data would staunch the bleeding, but also leave employees paralyzed and unable to act effectively.

  • Cluster Analysis Or Clustering Is a Common Technique for Statistical
    IOSR Journal of Engineering Apr. 2012, Vol. 2(4) pp: 719-725 AN OVERVIEW ON CLUSTERING METHODS T. Soni Madhulatha Associate Professor, Alluri Institute of Management Sciences, Warangal. ABSTRACT Clustering is a common technique for statistical data analysis, which is used in many fields, including machine learning, data mining, pattern recognition, image analysis and bioinformatics. Clustering is the process of grouping similar objects into different groups, or more precisely, the partitioning of a data set into subsets, so that the data in each subset according to some defined distance measure. This paper covers about clustering algorithms, benefits and its applications. Paper concludes by discussing some limitations. Keywords: Clustering, hierarchical algorithm, partitional algorithm, distance measure, I. INTRODUCTION finding the length of the hypotenuse in a triangle; that is, it Clustering can be considered the most important is the distance "as the crow flies." A review of cluster unsupervised learning problem; so, as every other problem analysis in health psychology research found that the most of this kind, it deals with finding a structure in a collection common distance measure in published studies in that of unlabeled data. A cluster is therefore a collection of research area is the Euclidean distance or the squared objects which are “similar” between them and are Euclidean distance. “dissimilar” to the objects belonging to other clusters.
