One of the difficulties in calculating the capacity of certain Poisson channels is that H(), the entropy of the Poisson distribution with mean , is not available in a simple form. ...
Let X be a non-negative random variable and let the conditional distribution of a random variable Y , given X, be Poisson(γ · X), for a parameter γ ≥ 0. We identify a natural...
Background: Confidence in pairwise alignments of biological sequences, obtained by various methods such as Blast or Smith-Waterman, is critical for automatic analyses of genomic d...
