Expected Frequencies in Goodness-of-Fit Tests01:19

Expected Frequencies in Goodness-of-Fit Tests

8.8K
A goodness-of-fit test is conducted to determine whether the observed frequency values are statistically similar to the frequencies expected for the dataset. Suppose the expected frequencies for a dataset are equal such as when predicting the frequency of any number appearing when casting a die. In that case, the expected frequency is the ratio of the total number of observations (n)  to the number of categories (k).

Probability Distributions

13.1K
 The probability of a random variable x  is the likelihood of its occurrence. A probability distribution represents the probabilities of a random variable using a formula, graph, or table. There are two types of probability distribution– discrete probability distribution and continuous probability distribution.
A discrete probability distribution is a probability distribution of discrete random variables. It can be categorized into binomial probability distribution and Poisson...

Probability in Statistics

24.8K
Probability is the likelihood of an event occurring. The term event is defined as a collection of results of a procedure. An event is a simple event when an outcome cannot be divided into simpler parts.
An example of a simple event is a coin toss. The result of a coin toss is either a head or a tail. Here, head and tail are two simple events. These two simple events make up the sample space. Further, the probability of an event occurring falls within the range of 0 to 1. The probability of an...

Probability Histograms

13.6K
A probability histogram is a visual representation of a probability distribution. Similar a typical histogram, the probability histogram consists of contiguous (adjoining) boxes. It has both a horizontal axis and a vertical axis. The horizontal axis is labeled with what the data represents. The vertical axis is labeled with probability. Each rectangular bar in the histogram is 1 unit wide, which suggests that the area under each bar equals the probability, P(x), where x is 1, 2, 3, and so on.

Poisson Probability Distribution01:09

Poisson Probability Distribution

12.3K
A Poisson probability distribution is a discrete probability distribution. It gives the probability of a number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space if these events happen at a known average rate and independently of the time since the last event. For example, a book editor might be interested in the number of words spelled incorrectly in a particular book. It might be that, on average, there are five words spelled incorrectly in 100 pages. The interval is 100 pages.

Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER01:29

Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER

5.5K
ER is the primary site for the maturation and folding of soluble and transmembrane secretory proteins. The calnexin cycle is a specific chaperone system that folds and assesses the confirmation of N-glycosylated proteins before they can exit the ER lumen. The primary players of this quality check pipeline are the lectins, ER-resident chaperones, and a glucosyl transferase enzyme. In case the calnexin system in the lumen fails to salvage a misfolded protein, it is transported to the cytoplasm...

Area of Science:

  • Computational biology
  • Structural bioinformatics
  • Protein structure prediction

Background:

  • Protein quality assessment (QA) is crucial for protein structure prediction.
  • Existing methods require further improvement, especially for challenging targets.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce Qprob, a novel single-model QA method.
  • To evaluate Qprob's effectiveness in assessing protein structural model quality.

Main Methods:

  • Qprob calculates the absolute error between protein feature values and true quality scores (GDT-TS).
  • It estimates the probability density distribution of these errors for QA.
  • The method was blindly tested in the Critical Assessment of Techniques for Protein Structure Prediction (CASP11).

Main Results:

  • Qprob ranked among the top single-model QA methods in CASP11.
  • Qprob contributed to the MULTICOM tertiary structure predictor, which ranked 3rd out of 143.
  • The method demonstrated effectiveness in assessing models for difficult protein targets.

Conclusions:

  • Qprob, a novel probability density distribution-based method, is effective for single-model protein QA.
  • This approach enhances the accuracy of protein structure prediction.
  • Qprob is available as a web server for public use.
