The book presents the results of studies on selected problems (such as
predictive model of transcription initiation and termination, protein
recognition codes, protein structure prediction, feature selection for
disease prediction, information retrieval from medical imaging) of
Bioinformatics and Information Retrieval. Information Retrieval is one
of the contemporary answers to new challenges in threat evaluation of
composite systems. This book provides a practical course in
computational data analysis suitable for students or researchers with no
previous exposure to computer programming. It describes in detail the
theoretical basis for statistical analysis techniques used throughout
the textbook, from basic principles. It presents walk-throughs of data
analysis tasks using different tools to help in taking decisions in
healthcare management.
