MVP: Detection of motif-making and -breaking mutations
Afif Elghraoui, Faramarz Valafar
Background: DNA, RNA, and protein sequence motifs can be recognition sites for biological functions such as regulation, DNA base modification, and molecular binding in general. The…
Reduction in the complexity of 1D 1H-NMR spectra by the use of Frequency to Information Transformation
Homayoun Valafar, Faramarz Valafar
Analysis of 1H-NMR spectra is often hindered by large variations that occur during the collection of these spectra. Large solvent and standard peaks, base line drift and negative p…
Distributed Global Optimization (DGO)
Homayoun Valafar, Okan K. Ersoy, Faramarz Valafar
A new technique of global optimization and its applications in particular to neural networks are presented. The algorithm is also compared to other global optimization algorithms s…
A Comparative study of Artificial Neural Networks Using Reinforcement learning and Multidimensional Bayesian Classification Using Parzen Density Estimation for Identification of GC-EIMS Spectra of Partially Methylated Alditol Acetates
Faramarz Valafar, Homayoun Valafar
This study reports the development of a pattern recognition search engine for a World Wide Web-based database of gas chromatography-electron impact mass spectra (GC-EIMS) of partia…
Parallel, Self Organizing, Consensus Neural Networks
Homayoun Valafar, Faramarz Valafar, Okan Ersoy
A new neural network architecture (PSCNN) is developed to improve performance and speed of such networks. The architecture has all the advantages of the previous models such as sel…
Identification of 1H-NMR Spectra of Xyloglucan Oligosaccharides: A Comparative Study of Artificial Neural Networks and Bayesian Classification Using Nonparametric Density Estimation
Faramarz Valafar, Homayoun Valafar, William S. York
Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) is a widely used tool for chemical structural analysis. However, 1H-NMR spectra suffer from natural aberrations that render computer-assi…
