A Combined Motif Discovery Method
… and joint information content involved. Simulated tempering was embedded into classic Gibbs sampling to avoid local optima. This method was applied to the 18 pieces DNA sequences containing CRP binding sites validated by Stormo and the results were compared with Bioprospector. Based on …

Use of spatial models and the MCMC method for investigating the relationship between road traffic pollution and asthma amongst children
… posterior density function. It extends the simulated tempering method to 'multi-dimension temperature' situation. We use this method to implement MCMC on our models. The improvement in speed is remarkable. A significant effect of road traffic pollution on asthma is not found. But the …

… of the model. The algorithm is a variant of the Simulated tempering and allows fast convergence to the equilibrium distribution, decreasing the computational costs of estimation. Using Add Health data, I confirm the results of Chapter 3.
