We prove two main results on how arbitrary linear threshold functions f(x) = sign(w · x − θ) over the n-dimensional Boolean hypercube can be approximated by simple threshold f...
Background: Empirical scoring functions have proven useful in protein structure modeling. Most such scoring functions depend on protein side chain conformations. However, backbone...
Background: Profile-profile methods have been used for some years now to detect and align homologous proteins. The best such methods use information from the background distributi...
We explore different approaches for performing hypothesis tests on the shape of a mean function by developing general methodologies both, for the often assumed, i.i.d. error struc...
An important strength of learning classifier systems (LCSs) lies in the combination of genetic optimization techniques with gradient-based approximation techniques. The chosen app...
