Download or read book Probabilistic Modeling in Bioinformatics and Medical Informatics written by Dirk Husmeier and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-05-06 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Probabilistic Modelling in Bioinformatics and Medical Informatics has been written for researchers and students in statistics, machine learning, and the biological sciences. The first part of this book provides a self-contained introduction to the methodology of Bayesian networks. The following parts demonstrate how these methods are applied in bioinformatics and medical informatics. All three fields - the methodology of probabilistic modeling, bioinformatics, and medical informatics - are evolving very quickly. The text should therefore be seen as an introduction, offering both elementary tutorials as well as more advanced applications and case studies.
