The PPLD has advantages over conventional regression methods in application to moderately sized genome-wide association studies.

Veronica J Vieland, Sang-Cheol Seok • PLoS ONE (2021)

In earlier work, we have developed and evaluated an alternative approach to the analysis of GWAS data, based on a statistic called the PPLD. More recently, motivated by a GWAS for genetic modifiers of the X-linked Mendelian disorder Duchenn...

Emergence of chaotic resonance controlled by extremely weak feedback signals in neural systems

Anh Tu Tran, Sou Nobukawa, Sou Nobukawa, Sou Nobukawa et al. • Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics (2024)

IntroductionChaotic resonance is similar to stochastic resonance, which emerges from chaos as an internal dynamical fluctuation. In chaotic resonance, chaos-chaos intermittency (CCI), in which the chaotic orbits shift between the separated ...
