FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Non-parametric manifold learning
Electronic Journal of StatisticsWe introduce an estimator for distances in a compact Riemannian manifold based on graph Laplacian estimates of the Laplace-Beltrami operator. We upper bound the error in the estimate of manifold distances, or more precisely an estimate of a spectrally truncated variant of manifold distance of interest in non-commutative geometry (cf.

On Two-Stage Non-Parametric Estimation [PDF]
The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1963 Abstract : A two-sample, two-stage non-parametric estimation problem is studied. The parameter phi phi(F, G) under consideration is estimable (i.e., there exists an unbiased estimator which is a function of independent observations from two populations with cumulative distribution functions F(X) and G(Y). (Hence, it is called a two-sample problem.) The

Improving Parametric Mortgage Prepayment Models with Non-parametric Kernel Regression [PDF]
Developing a good prepayment model is a central task in the valuation of mortgages and mortgage-backed securities but conventional parametric models often have bad out-of-sample predictive ability.

Non-parametric IQC Multipliers in Data-Driven Robust Controller Synthesis [PDF]
The paper presents a robust data-driven controller synthesis method for generalised multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems. Using the frequency response of a linear time-invariant (LTI) MIMO system and characterising perturbations through Integral ...

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.
