In this thesis, problems regarding network structures are investigated. In the first part, a circular network model is built. In the literature, methods used to detect network structures of circular variables either have strong distributional assumptions or strict structural assumptions. To address these issues, a novel circular regression-based, non-parametric circular network model is proposed. The performance of the proposed method is examined in an extensive simulation study. In the second part, a method to utilize known network structures for further analyses is exemplified. An HMM model is built for the detection of the HIV-1 protease cleavage sites. By using feature selection and fuzzy clustering methods, a clever starting point is given to the Baum- Welch EM algorithm and the performance of earlier proposed methods is increased.

A Divide and Conquer Approach for Construction of Large-Scale Signaling Networks from PPI and RNAi Data Using Linear Programming
Ozsoy, Oyku Eren; Can, Tolga (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-07-01)
Inference of topology of signaling networks from perturbation experiments is a challenging problem. Recently, the inference problem has been formulated as a reference network editing problem and it has been shown that finding the minimum number of edit operations on a reference network to comply with perturbation experiments is an NP-complete problem. In this paper, we propose an integer linear optimization (ILP) model for reconstruction of signaling networks from RNAi data and a reference network. The ILP ...
A novel phase-averaging method based on vortical structure correlation
Vanierschot, Maarten; Perçin, Mustafa; Van Oudheusden, Bas W. (2016-10-25)
In this paper we investigate a new method for phase averaging based on the correlation of vortical structures in a ow eld. The method requires the presence of a large scale precessing structure in the ow, such as for instance the precessing vortex core found in swirling ows. The transformation from time to phase is done by correlation of the instantaneous Q elds to determine the phase shift between two instants of the precession. Once the phase shift is determined, the dierent owelds are rotated bac...
A QCD analysis of high energy neutrino-nucleon interactions
Gamsızkan, Halil; Serin, Meltem; Department of Physics (2003)
In this thesis, a leading-order QCD analysis of structure functions in neutrinonucleon interactions is performed. From the CCFR nucleon structure function data, the QCD parameter Lambda has been extracted. This measurement also corresponds to a measurement of the strong coupling constant. Two fits to the data have been performed, the nonsinglet-only fit and the singlet-nonsinglet combined fit. The result for Lambda was found to be 289 +62 Ł59 ʹ76 MeV, where the errors are statistical and systematical, respe...
A new multimodal and asymmetric bivariate circular distribution
Hassanzadeh, Fatemeh; Kalaylioglu, Zeynep (2018-09-01)
Multimodal and asymmetric bivariate circular data arise in several different disciplines and fitting appropriate distribution plays an important role in the analysis of such data. In this paper, we propose a new bivariate circular distribution which can be used to model both asymmetric and multimodal bivariate circular data simultaneously. In fact the proposed density covers unimodality as well as multimodality, symmetry as well as asymmetry of circular bivariate data. A number of properties of the proposed...
An experimental study for simulation based assessment of information system design performance
Ayyildiz, Bulent; Akman, Ibrahim; Arifoğlu, Ali (2007-07-04)
This paper presents an experimental study for evaluating the decision support value of queueing network (QN) based simulation models for information system design performance. For illustration, queueing network simulation models have been extracted corressponding to three annotated design alternatives of a selected case study. The design alternatives are produced using logical requirements of the selected system. The performance of each alternative is then predicted using quantifiable parameters considering...
