In genomic applications, there is often interest in identifying genes whose time-course expression trajectories exhibit periodic oscillations with a period of approximately 24 hours (circadian genes). While it is natural to expect that the expression …
This study aims to cluster track and field athletes based on their average seasonal performance. Athletes’ performance measurements are treated as random perturbations of an underlying individual step function with season-specific random intercepts. …
Task-oriented dialog systems are computer systems that interact with humans in natural language. The system receives a query, converts the sequence of words into a semantic representation to be used by the dialog manager, decides the best response …
The use of statistical methods in sport analytics is common practice nowadays. In this work, we propose a hierarchical Bayesian model for describing and predicting the evolution of performance over time for shot put athletes. We address seasonality …
The prediction of gene expressions from DNA sequences is a relevant problem in biology. While most of the existing methods dedicated to this task use genotypes as predictors, here we propose a method based on transcription factor affinities, which …
The monitoring of loans’ life-cycle has received the increasing attention of the scientific community after the 2008 global financial crisis. A number of aspects of this broad topic have been addressed by means of several regulatory, statistical and …
