Split decomposition: a new and useful approach to phylogenetic analysis of distance data
1Mathematisches Seminar, Universität Hamburg, Federal Republic of Germany.
Abstract:
In order to analyze the structure inherent to a matrix of dissimilarities (such as evolutionary distances) we propose to use a new technique called split decomposition. This method accurately dissects the given dissimilarity measure as a sum of elementary "split" metrics plus a (small) residue. The split summands identify related groups which are susceptible to further interpretation when casted against the available biological information. Reanalysis of previously published ribosomal RNA data sets using split decomposition illustrate the potential of this approach.

Analysis Methods of Pharmacokinetic Data: Model and Model-Independent Approaches
The model approach uses mathematical models to describe changes in drug concentration over time. Pharmacokinetic models help characterize drug behavior in patients, predict drug concentration in the body fluids, calculate optimum dosage regimens, and evaluate the risk of toxicity. However, ensuring that the model fits the experimental data accurately...
