Miscellanea

• My project on small-sample error estimation, "Theory and Application of Small-Sample Error Estimation in Genomic Signal Processing" has been funded by a 5-year NSF CAREER Award, starting March 1, 2009.

• The paper "Is Cross-Validation Valid for Small-Sample Microarray Classification?", by myself and Ed Dougherty, has been appointed by the publisher of the ISI Web of Knowledge as the "Fast-Breaking Paper" in the field of Computer Science for February 2006.

• Errata: The chapter "Classification," by myself and Ed Dougherty, part of the book Genomic Signal Processing and Statistics, Hindawi Publishing Corp., 2005, had unfortunate problems in Figures 3.8 and 3.9. However, none of the conclusions in the chapter changes due to these errors. Please download the correct figures below:
  • Erratum 1 - Figure 3.8
  • Erratum 2 - Figure 3.9
