One simple method is to employ feature-level fusion which merges all features from different sources into a large feature vector as the input to a single classifier.
KTH-SE achieved significantly better accuracy than the other methods because of the optimized track-linking algorithm used, and an adaptive post-processing step, which merges segmented object portions into adjacent segments with tracks.
Given their complementary nature, some of these methods can be combined to increase the identification rate, as proposed for instance by the commercial package Peaks (Ma et al. 2003), which merges database search and de novo sequencing results.
Clustering of Orthologs: groups of ortholog in the seven genomes/proteomes were obtained using the All-versus-All sequences comparison InParanoid method and its extention MultiParanoid, which merge multiple pairwise ortholog groups from InParanoid into multi-species ortholog groups [ 34, 50].
Also owned Toy Biz, which merged with Marvel Entertainment Group in 1993.
Exxon and Mobil, which merged in November, upstaged Bank of America for third place.
Municipality A was once four municipalities, which merged in 1963.
Basically, with the pooling method, which the FASB wants to eliminate, merging companies simply add their balance sheets together.
More sophisticated methods are the "greedy" method which combines loci if they exceed a minimal overlap (or fall below a maximal distance of each other) and the "minmax" method which tries to find maximal extensions by merging overlapping loci within predefined minimal and maximal sizes.
An interesting idea is provided by the so-called spectral smoothed boundary method [ 17], which tries to merge the excellent convergence property of Fourier-type spectral methods (which, on the other hand, are not able to accommodate irregular geometries) with the phase-field method, an embedding approach capable of dealing with complex domains when no-flux boundary conditions are present.
