The similarity between neural and immune networks has been known for decades, but so far we did not understand the mechanism that allows the immune system, unlike associative neural networks, to recall and execute a large number of…
When scholars study joint distributions of multiple variables, copulas are useful. However, if the variables are not linearly correlated with each other yet are still not independent, most of conventional copulas are not up to the task.…
In climate studies, detecting spatial patterns that largely deviate from the sample mean still remains a statistical challenge. Although a Principal Component Analysis (PCA), or equivalently a Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOF)…
In this study, we propose a Kernel-PCA model designed to capture structure-function relationships in a protein. This model also enables ranking of reaction coordinates according to their impact on protein properties. By leveraging machine…
In this thesis, we study performance analysis and resource allocation designs for non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) in wireless communication systems. In contrast to conventional orthogonal multiple access (OMA) schemes, NOMA allows…

Relations between categorical variables can be analyzed conveniently by multiple correspondence analysis (MCA). %It is well suited to discover relations that may exist between categories of different variables. The graphical representation…
Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA) are used to identify global patterns in solar and space data. PCA seeks orthogonal modes of the two-point correlation matrix constructed from a data set. It…
One of the most common pitfalls often found in high dimensional biological data sets are correlations between the features. This may lead to statistical and machine learning methodologies overvaluing or undervaluing these correlated…
We present explicit expressions for the correlation functions of interacting fermions in one dimension which are valid for arbitrary system sizes and temperatures. The result applies to a number of very different strongly correlated…
Outer hair cells (OHCs) are essential for the sensitivity and frequency specificity of the mammalian ear. To perform this function, OHCs need to amplify the motion of the basilar membrane (BM), which is much stiffer than themselves. If OHCs…

Many biological processes are governed by protein-ligand interactions. One such example is the recognition of self and nonself cells by the immune system. This immune response process is regulated by the major histocompatibility complex…
Independent Mechanism Analysis (IMA) seeks to address non-identifiability in nonlinear Independent Component Analysis (ICA) by assuming that the Jacobian of the mixing function has orthogonal columns. As typical in ICA, previous work…
We say that a Cellular Automata (CA) is coalescing when its execution on two distinct (random) initial configurations in the same asynchronous mode (the same cells are updated in each configuration at each time step) makes both…
It has been shown that uniform as well as non-uniform cellular automata (CA) can be evolved to perform certain computational tasks. Random Boolean networks are a generalization of two-state cellular automata, where the interconnection…
