The accuracy advantage of our previous multi-segment method over COW was slight.
This latter problem is then solved by using the multi-segment method of integration [Kalnins, A., 1964. Analysis of shell of revolutions subjected to symmetrical and non-symmetrical loads. Journal of Applied Mechanics 31, 1355 1365].
Then two improvements to classical ABC algorithm are proposed: a multi-segment method for evaluating the quality of food sources in employed bee phase based on an analysis of probability distribution of foods in different iteration segments; and a memory-based strategy for onlooker bees to find new foods and evaluate their quality considering better moving directions and steps.
A multi-segment method provides a balance between these two methods.
In previous work (Smith et al., 2008), we described a novel multi-segment alignment method and empirically demonstrated that it classifies and aligns our toxicogenomics data better than several competing methods, including dynamic time warping, several parametric methods (such as linear alignment) and another multi-segment method called correlation-optimized warping, or COW (Nielsen et al., 1998).
The second contribution introduced here is a new multi-segment alignment method, called SCOW, that features the ability to calculate 'shorted' alignments, a correlation-based scoring function, and an efficient dynamic programming algorithm for computing alignments.
The governing equations are formulated in terms of sets of first-order ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically using the so-called 'multi-segment method' of integration.
The multiple-point boundary value problem constituted by the differential equations together with the imposed boundary conditions is solved numerically by direct integration using the 'multi-segment method' of integration.
We also present a novel multi-segment alignment algorithm that computes more accurate alignments for sparse gene-expression time series than previous methods.
