Computational Challenges in miRNA Target Predictions: To Be or Not to Be a True Target?

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2009, Issue 1, 2009., 2009
All microRNA (miRNA) target—finder algorithms return lists of candidate target genes. How valid is that output in a biological setting? Transcriptome analysis has proven to be a useful approach to determine mRNA targets. Time course mRNA microarray experiments may reliably identify downregulated genes in response to overexpression of specific miRNA ...

A new distance between rankings

open access: yesHeliyon
This paper analyzes the behavior of the well-known Spearman's footrule distance (F-distance) to measure the distance between two rankings over the same set of objects. We show that F-distance is not invariant to labeling, and therefore, it suffers from a

University Campus as a Living Laboratory for Cleaner Energy Transition: Integrating High‐Resolution Solar Assessment With Policy Framework for Institutional Decarbonization

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Universities represent critical yet underutilized platforms for climate change mitigation through renewable energy transitions, yet few have integrated high‐resolution spatial analytics with actionable policy frameworks for institutional decarbonization.

Comonotonic‐Based Time Series Clustering With Constraints: A Review and a Conceptual Framework

open access: yesEnvironmetrics, Volume 36, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Time series clustering is a widely used unsupervised learning approach that identifies groups of similar time series to uncover hidden patterns in complex datasets. In recent years, this technique has gained traction in the analysis of geo‐referenced time series, where spatial information must be incorporated into the dissimilarity measure to ...

Time Variant Node Ranking Technique for Chatbot Neural Graph

open access: yesApplied AI Letters, Volume 6, Issue 3, October 2025.
This study provides an approach to convert a neural graph into a ranking tree and a path to navigate through it. So the chatbot can identify which node is more promising and has a shorter path than other nodes for information retrieval. ABSTRACT This study seeks to put repetitiveness characteristics into AI.

Improved indoor localization using k‐medoids and k‐nearest neighbour algorithms with context similarity coefficient‐based fingerprint similarity metric

open access: yesThe Journal of Engineering, Volume 2024, Issue 11, November 2024.
Fingerprint database clustering and localization using the k‐medoids and k‐nearest neighbour (k‐NN) algorithms, respectively, are generally carried out using distance‐based fingerprint similarity metrics, and their performances are dependent on the type of distance metric used. Contrary to the commonly used distance‐based similarity metrics, this paper

The Core Might Change Anyhow We Define It: The Instability of Key Actors in Longitudinal Social Network Data

open access: yesComplexity, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Central actors or opinion leaders are in the right structural position to spread relevant information or convince others about adopting an innovation or behaviour change. Who is a central actor or opinion leader might be conceptualised in various ways.

Measuring the dependence among dimensions of welfare: a study based on spearman´s footrule and Gini´s Gamma

open access: yes, 2016
Producción CientíficaWelfare is multidimensional as it involves not only income, but also education, health or labour. The composite indicators of welfare are usually based on aggregating somehow the information across dimensions and individuals ...

Spearman's Footrule as a Measure of Agreement

open access: yes, 1997
Spearman's footrule measure of the relationship between two sets of ranks is shown to be a chance-corrected measure of agreement. The footrule is generalized to include tied ranks and a comparison with Spearman's rank-order correlation coefficient is ...
