Linear predictive coding representation of correlated mutation for protein sequence alignment.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Numerous models for use in interpreting quantitative PCR (qPCR) data are present in recent literature. The most commonly used models assume the amplification in qPCR is exponential and fit an exponential model with a constant rate of increase to a select part of the curve. Kinetic theory may be used to model...
