Bayesian alignment of continuous molecular shapes using random fields (2008)
Journal Article
Czogiel, I., Dryden, I. L., & Brignell, C. J. Bayesian alignment of continuous molecular shapes using random fields. Manuscript submitted for publication

Statistical methodology is proposed for comparing

Recent data suggest that there might be a subtle thermal explanation for the apparent induction by radiofrequency (RF) radiation of transgene expression from a small-heat-shock-protein (hsp16-1) promoter in the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans. The R... Read More about Continuous Wave and simulated GSM exposure at 1.8 W/kg and 1.8 GHz do not induce hsp16-1 heat-shock gene expression in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Harshness in image classification accuracy assessment (2008)
Journal Article

Thematic mapping via a classification analysis is one of the most common applications of remote sensing. The accuracy of image classifications is, however, often viewed negatively. Here, it is suggested that the approach to the evaluation of image cl... Read More about Harshness in image classification accuracy assessment.
