Quantifying Influenza Vaccine Efficacy and Antigenic Distance
Vishal Gupta, David J. Earl, Michael W. Deem
We introduce a new measure of antigenic distance between influenza A vaccine and circulating strains. The measure correlates well with efficacies of the H3N2 influenza A component…

Markov Chains of Infinite Order and Asymptotic Satisfaction of Balance: Application to the Adaptive Integration Method
David J. Earl, Michael W. Deem
Adaptive Monte Carlo methods can be viewed as implementations of Markov chains with infinite memory. We derive a general condition for the convergence of a Monte Carlo method whose…

Optimal Allocation of Replicas to Processors in Parallel Tempering Simulations
David J. Earl, Michael W. Deem
The optimal allocation of replicas to a homogeneous or heterogenous set of processors is derived for parallel tempering simulations on multi-processor machines. In the general case…
