He put the minimum size of a benchmark offering at about 3 billion euros, but said he was hoping to raise "as much as 5 billion euros" this month.
The size of the Benchmark funding is not being disclosed.
While Netvibes (which launched their own redesign a few days ago) has publicized their $15 million venture round as well as user growth (first 1 million and then more recently, 5 million), Pageflakes has not released user numbers or the size of their BenchMark financing.
This performance similarity for ligands can be attributed to the much simpler topologies in comparison to their binding pockets and the very small size of the benchmarking set, which renders it an easier classification task for a shape-only signature.
It goes without saying that future development of aCGH data analysis methods will be largely dependent on the size and quality of benchmark sets.
This procedure was repeated for each assay in the dataset that is in a different paper from those series already added to the benchmark, giving a complete benchmark dataset size of 4563 (at minimum).
For an intracluster correlation coefficient of 0.05 (20 patients per physician), the cluster randomization power analysis indicated that a sample size of 3,000 in the benchmarking group and 1,000 in the control group would achieve 93% power to detect a difference of 74% between the groups (P = 0.05) with an unpooled, two-sided z test.
This procedure is repeated for each molecule in the dataset that is part of an outer edge, giving a complete benchmark dataset size of 3629 (at minimum, see next paragraph).
For comparison, the average size of complexes in the CYC2008 benchmark is 6.68 proteins.
For colony sizes between 6 and 12 individuals, both morphs emerged at a similar frequency, so we used a colony size of 8 mites/tube as a benchmark at which we expected the survival and reproductive success of both morphs to be approximately equal.
