Cancer Statistics, 2021
Abstract Each year, the American Cancer Society estimates the numbers of new cancer cases and deaths in the United States and compiles the most recent data on population‐based c...
A Fast Learning Algorithm for Deep Belief Nets
We show how to use “complementary priors” to eliminate the explaining-away effects that make inference difficult in densely connected belief nets that have many hidden layers. U...
Inference from Iterative Simulation Using Multiple Sequences
The Gibbs sampler, the algorithm of Metropolis and similar iterative simulation methods are potentially very helpful for summarizing multivariate distributions. Used naively, ho...
Regularization Paths for Generalized Linear Models via Coordinate Descent
We develop fast algorithms for estimation of generalized linear models with convex penalties. The models include linear regression, two-class logistic regression, and multi- nom...
Embryonic Stem Cell Lines Derived from Human Blastocysts
Human blastocyst-derived, pluripotent cell lines are described that have normal karyotypes, express high levels of telomerase activity, and express cell surface markers that cha...

Abstract Each year, the American Cancer Society estimates the numbers of new cancer cases and deaths in the United States and compiles the most recent data on population‐based c...
RAxML-VI-HPC: maximum likelihood-based phylogenetic analyses with thousands of taxa and mixed models
Abstract Summary: RAxML-VI-HPC (randomized axelerated maximum likelihood for high performance computing) is a sequential and parallel program for inference of large phylogenies ...
Integrative Analysis of Complex Cancer Genomics and Clinical Profiles Using the cBioPortal
The cBioPortal enables integration, visualization, and analysis of multidimensional cancer genomic and clinical data.
