Reverse engineering of modified genes by Bayesian network analysis defines molecular determinants critical to the development of glioblastoma. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In this study we have identified key genes that are critical in development of astrocytic tumors. Meta-analysis of microarray studies which compared normal tissue to astrocytoma revealed a set of 646 differentially expressed genes in the majority of ...

Some Interesting Observations on the Free Energy Principle
Entropy, 2021 Biehl et al. (2021) present some interesting observations on an early formulation of the free energy principle. We use these observations to scaffold a discussion of the technical arguments that underwrite the free energy principle.

Joint Markov Blankets in Feature Sets Extracted from Wavelet Packet Decompositions
Entropy, 2011 Since two decades, wavelet packet decompositions have been shown effective as a generic approach to feature extraction from time series and images for the prediction of a target variable.

Causal surgery under a Markov blanket
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2022 Bruineberg et al provide compelling clarity on the roles Markov blankets could (and perhaps should) play in the study of life and mind. However, here we draw attention to a further role blankets might play: as a hypothesis about cognition itself. People and other animals may use blanket-like representations to model the boundary between themselves ...

Directed acyclic graphs and causal thinking in clinical risk prediction modeling
BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2020 Background In epidemiology, causal inference and prediction modeling methodologies have been historically distinct. Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) are used to model a priori causal assumptions and inform variable selection strategies for causal questions.

Online Feature Selection for Streaming Features Using Self-Adaption Sliding-Window Sampling
IEEE Access, 2019 In recent years, online feature selection has been a research topic on streaming feature mining, as it can reduce the dimensionality of the streaming features by removing the irrelevant and redundant features in real time.

A Technical Critique of Some Parts of the Free Energy Principle
Entropy, 2021 We summarize the original formulation of the free energy principle and highlight some technical issues. We discuss how these issues affect related results involving generalised coordinates and, where appropriate, mention consequences for and reveal, up ...

Two generalizations of Markov blankets
CoRR, 2019 In a probabilistic graphical model on a set of variables $V$, the Markov blanket of a random vector $B$ is the minimal set of variables conditioned to which $B$ is independent from the remaining of the variables $V \backslash B$. We generalize Markov blankets to study how a set $C$ of variables of interest depends on~$B$.
