We applied a permutation test in order to assess the entropy significance for each one of the KEGG pathways.
Although there are no previous examples of unsupervised feature selection for metagenomics, it is a common practice in information retrieval with text documents (Yang and Pedersen, 1997); a particularly relevant method assesses the entropy of the distribution of documents in which a specific term occurs (Largeron et al., 2011).
Market efficiency analysis is an important aspect in financial engineering.Based on weak-form efficient markets hypothesis (EMH), we characterize the market efficiency in foreign exchange (FX) markets by using the multi-scale approximate entropy (MApEn) to assess the randomness in FX markets.
To understand the thermodynamic characteristics of the system and that particular water molecule, calculations were run with the WaterMap program, which combines molecular dynamics, solvent clustering, and statistical thermodynamics to assess the enthalpy, entropy, and free energy of water "hydration sites".
Because our method used the GO data as prior information to form clusters, evaluation measures such as the entropy for assessing the homogeneity of the clusters with respect to GO terms can introduce some bias.
The present paper is focused on assessing the specific impact of word ordering on the entropy of language.
However, an alternative to the foregoing metrics, metric entropy, sometimes referred to as measure entropy or spatial measure entropy, best quantifies the sparseness of spatially and temporally evolving computational networks and their elements., Hence, metric entropy is well suited for assessing the sparseness of ciliates' biased social heuristics.
Entropy quantifies the complexity of a dataset by assessing the probability that equal sequences of length m remain similar after a time increment.
As each component ECVQ contained two stages, lattice quantization and entropy coding, we would first assess the quantization stage and then, the entropy coding stage.
The program BioEdit [ 18] was used to assess the nature of variability and the entropy of the alignment among the species.
