A GENERAL HIV INCIDENCE INFERENCE SCHEME BASED ON LIKELIHOOD OF INDIVIDUAL LEVEL DATA AND A POPULATION RENEWAL EQUATION.

A general HIV incidence inference scheme based on likelihood of individual level data and a population renewal equation.

We derive a new method to estimate the age specific incidence of an infection with a differential mortality, using individual level infection status data from successive surveys.The method consists of a) an SI-type model to express the incidence rate in terms of the prevalence and its derivatives as well as the difference in mortality rate, and b)

Comparative genomic analyses highlight the contribution of pseudogenized protein-coding genes to human lincRNAs

Abstract Background The regulatory roles of long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) in humans have been revealed through the use of advanced sequencing technology.Recently, three possible scenarios of lincRNA origins have been proposed: de novo origination from intergenic regions, duplication from other long noncoding RNAs, and pseudogenization f

Investigating the Effects of a Combined Spatial and Spectral Dimensionality Reduction Approach for Aerial Hyperspectral Target Detection Applications

Target detection and classification is an important application of hyperspectral imaging in remote sensing.A wide range of algorithms for target detection in hyperspectral images have been developed in the last few decades.Given the nature of hyperspectral images, they exhibit large quantities of redundant information and are therefore compressible
