Predicting transcription factor site occupancy using DNA sequence intrinsic and cell-type specific chromatin features

Background: Understanding the mechanisms by which transcription factors (TF) are recruited to their physiological target sites is crucial for understanding gene regulation. DNA sequence intrinsic features such as predicted binding affinity are often not ve ...

Stream temperature prediction in ungauged basins: review of recent approaches and description of a new physics-derived statistical model

Michael Lehning, Marc Parlange, Bettina Schaefli, Aurélien Gallice

The development of stream temperature regression models at regional scales has regained some popularity over the past years. These models are used to predict stream temperature in ungauged catchments to assess the impact of human activities or climate chan ...

Modeling the monthly mean stream temperature dynamics

Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Bettina Schaefli, Aurélien Gallice

Water temperature is a hydrological factor which affects the habitat suitability of many aquatic (fish) species, and is therefore of great concern in the actual context of climate change. Two types of models are currently used to simulate stream temperatur ...

Assessing Physical Activity in Inpatient Rehabilitation - Sensor-based Validation of the PAIR

Kamiar Aminian

Increased physical activity is positively associated with better health in community-dwelling older persons. It is unclear whether physical activity also influences success of inpatient rehabilitation. For the assessment of physical activity in inpatient r ...

Estimating Beauty Ratings of Videos using Supervoxels

Sabine Süsstrunk, Appu Shaji, Gökhan Yildirim

The major low-level perceptual components that influence the beauty ratings of video are color, contrast, and motion. To estimate the beauty ratings of the NHK dataset, we propose to extract these features based on supervoxels, which are a group of pixels ...

Pass-by noise acoustic sensing for estimating speed and wheelbase length of two-axle vehicles.

Jean-Marc Odobez, Hervé Lissek, Xavier Falourd, Patrick Marmaroli

This paper focuses on acoustic road traffic monitoring and looks, more specifically, into the problem of speed and wheelbase length estimation of two-axle vehicles as they pass by. It is known that both front and rear axle trajectories may be dissociated u ...

Statistical modelling of the snow depth distribution in open alpine terrain

Michael Lehning

The spatial distribution of alpine snow covers is characterised by large variability. Taking this variability into account is important for many tasks including hydrology, glaciology, ecology or natural hazards. Statistical modelling is frequently applied ...

Mean field variational Bayesian inference for nonparametric regression with measurement error

Tung Huy Pham

A fast mean field variational Bayes (MFVB) approach to nonparametric regression when the predictors are subject to classical measurement error is investigated. It is shown that the use of such technology to the measurement error setting achieves reasonable ...

A diffusion LMS strategy for parameter estimation in noisy regressor applications

Ali H. Sayed

We study distributed least-mean square (LMS) estimation problems over adaptive networks, where nodes cooperatively work to estimate and track common parameters of an unknown system. We consider a scenario where the input and output response signals of the ...

Sensitivity analysis of polarimetric attenuation correction algorithms

Alexis Berne, Samuel Jolivet

Polarimetry improves radar rainfall estimation. It allows a better separation of meteorological and nonmeteorological echoes, a better identification of the type of hydrometeors, and an improved correction of the attenuation due to rain affecting the signa ...
