Variable Selection Bias in Classification Trees Based on Imprecise Probabilities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Classification trees based on imprecise probabilities provide an advancement of classical classification trees. The Gini Index is the default splitting criterion in classical classification trees, while in classification trees based on imprecise ...

Entropy, information and quantum measurements [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications in Mathematical Physics, 1973
The conditional entropy between two states of a quantum system is shown to be nonincreasing when a complete measurement is performed on the system. The information between two quantum systems is defined and is shown to be bounded above by the logarithmic correlation. This inequality is then applied to the measurement process. The entropy changes in the

The human gut microbiome across the life course

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

How biased are maximum entropy models? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Maximum entropy models have become popular statistical models in neuroscience and other areas in biology, and can be useful tools for obtaining estimates of mutual information in biological systems.

On computation of information entropy measures for certain fractal molecular architectures

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry
Fractal molecular structures constitute a distinct category of systems characterized by self-similarity and hierarchical growth patterns, which can be effectively examined by graph-theoretical methods.

A modified belief entropy in Dempster-Shafer framework. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
How to quantify the uncertain information in the framework of Dempster-Shafer evidence theory is still an open issue. Quite a few uncertainty measures have been proposed in Dempster-Shafer framework, however, the existing studies mainly focus on the mass

Does Amount of Information Support Aesthetic Values?

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Obtaining information from the world is important for survival. The brain, therefore, has special mechanisms to extract as much information as possible from sensory stimuli.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Measures of effectiveness for data fusion based on information entropy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
This thesis is concerned with measuring and predicting the performance and effectiveness of a data fusion process. Its central proposition is that information entropy may be used to quantify concisely the effectiveness of the process.

Time Resolution Dependence of Information Measures for Spiking Neurons: Scaling and Universality

open access: yesFrontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2015
The mutual information between stimulus and spike-train response is commonly used to monitor neural coding efficiency, but neuronal computation broadly conceived requires more refined and targeted information measures of input-output joint processes.
