Approximate Bayesian feature selection on a large meta-dataset offers novel insights on factors that effect siRNA potency (2009)

Klingelhoefer, Jochen W., Moutsianas, Loukas, Holmes, Chris

Motivation: Short interfering RNA (siRNA)-induced RNA interference is an endogenous pathway in sequence-specific gene silencing. The potency of different siRNAs to inhibit a common target varies...

Bayesian Nonparametric Hidden Markov Models with application to the analysis of copy-number-variation in mammalian genomes (2008)

Papaspiliopoulos, Omiros, Yau, Chris, Roberts, Gareth, Holmes, Chris

We consider the development of Bayesian Nonparametric methods for product partition models such as Hidden Markov Models and change point models. Our approach uses a Mixture of Dirichlet Process (MDP)...

Issue 1.0 A Review of Frame Technology (2007)

Chris Holmes, Andy Evans

Frame Technology was introduced during the early 1980’s as an approach to providing significant levels of improvement in software productivity through adaptive reuse. However, despite the claims of...

Direct UV written optical planar devices (2006)

Adikan, Rafiq, Holmes, Chris, Major, Huw, Gawith, Corin, Gates, James, Smith, Peter

The importance of optical technology is reflected by it being one of Malaysia's Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation Strategic Research Areas. Analogous to the silicon chip, the impetus now...

All systems GO for understanding mouse gene function (2004)

Holmes, Chris, Brown, Steve DM

Abstract It is widely supposed that the tissue specificity of gene expression indicates gene function. Now, an extensive analysis of gene expression in the mouse reveals that quantitative measurement...

Bayesian Wavelet Analysis with a Model Complexity Prior (1998)

J. M. Bernardo, Chris Holmes

this paper Bayesian methods for the selection and shrinkage of wavelet coefficients are considered. The wavelet coefficients are assigned a zero mean normal prior with precision matrix

Flexible Threshold Models for Modelling Interest Rate Volatility

Petros Dellaportas, Chris Holmes

This paper focuses on interest rate models with regime switching and extends previous nonlinear threshold models by relaxing the assumption of a fixed number of regimes. Instead we suggest automatic...
