In this paper, we consider a new procedure for estimating parameters in the proportional hazards model with doubly censored data. Computing the maximum likelihood estimator with doubly censored data is often nontrivial and requires a certain constraint optimization procedure, which is...

The determination of evolutionary relationships is a fundamental problem in evolutionary biology. Genome arrangement data are potentially more informative than deoxyribonucleic acid sequence data for inferring evolutionary relationships between distantly related taxa. We describe a Bayesian...

Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) markers are formed by selective amplification of DNA fragments from digested total genomic DNA. The technique is popular because it is a relatively inexpensive way to produce large numbers of reproducible genetic markers. In this paper, we describe a...
