Technical Note: Bias and the Quantification of Stability
Research on bias in machine learning algorithms has generally been concerned with the impact of bias on predictive accuracy. We believe that there are other factors that should al...

Calibration and assessment of channel-specific biases in microarray data with extended dynamical range
Background: Non-linearities in observed log-ratios of gene expressions, also known as intensity dependent log-ratios, can often be accounted for by global biases in the two channe...

Optimum bias for fast-switching free energy calculations
We derive the bias function that minimizes the statistical error of free energy differences calculated in work-biased fast-switching simulations. The optimum bias function is comp...

On the bias of BFS
Abstract--Breadth First Search (BFS) and other graph traversal techniques are widely used for measuring large unknown graphs, such as online social networks. It has been empiricall...

Stratification bias in low signal microarray studies
Background: When analysing microarray and other small sample size biological datasets, care is needed to avoid various biases. We analyse a form of bias, stratification bias, that...

Protocols for Multiparty Coin Toss with Dishonest Majority
Coin-tossing protocols are protocols that generate a random bit with uniform distribution. These protocols are used as a building block in many cryptographic protocols. Cleve [STOC...

A comparison of five steady-state truncation heuristics for simulation
We compare the performance of five well-known truncation heuristics for mitigating the effects of initialization bias in the output analysis of steady-state simulations. Two of th...

Bias-Corrected Bootstrap and Model Uncertainty
The bootstrap has become a popular method for exploring model (structure) uncertainty. Our experiments with artificial and realworld data demonstrate that the graphs learned from...

Probabilistically Estimating Backbones and Variable Bias: Experimental Overview
Backbone variables have the same assignment in all solutions to a given constraint satisfaction problem; more generally, bias represents the proportion of solutions that assign a v...
