Collective Estimation of Multiple Bivariate Density Functions With Application to Angular-Sampling-Based Protein Loop Modeling
多个二元密度函数的联合估计及其在蛋白质环建模中的应用
This article develops a method for simultaneous estimation of density functions for a collection of populations of protein backbone angle pairs using a data-driven, shared basis that is constructed by bivariate spline functions defined on a triangulation of the bivariate domain. The circular nature of angular data is taken into account by imposing appropriate smoothness constraints across boundaries of the triangles. Maximum penalized likelihood is used to fit the model and…
