Percolation of annotation errors through hierarchically structured protein sequence databases.

TL;DR: A probabilistic framework for exploring the consequences of percolation of errors through protein databases is developed, and the theory is applied to hierarchically structured protein sequence databases, and conclusions about database quality at different levels of the hierarchy are drawn.
Book ChapterDOI

RESAMPLE-MOVE Filtering with Cross-Model Jumps

TL;DR: In standard sequential imputation, repeated resampling stages progressively impoverish the set of particles, by decreasing the number of distinct values represented in that set, and a possible remedy is Rao-Blackwellisation (Liu and Chen 1998).
Journal ArticleDOI

Substantial benefits of tissue matching in renal transplantation.

TL;DR: The results show that substantial improvements in graft survival are obtained when there is DR compatibility and at most one A or B mismatch, but that there is little advantage in tissue matching unless this degree of matching can be attained.
Journal ArticleDOI

Convergence of adaptive direction sampling

TL;DR: In this paper, the convergence of adaptive direction sampling is studied for a special case of the "snooker" algorithm, for which a powerful irreducibility result can be proved under extremely mild regularity conditions.
