Statistical test for a hidden Markov model for nucleotide distribution in bacterial DNA
Prof. Dr. Marcelo Sobottka MTM/UFSC
Resumo:
In this work, we present parameter estimators for a hidden-Markov based model for the distributional structure of nucleotides in bacterial DNA sequences. Such model supposes that the gross structure of bacterial DNA sequences can be derived from uniformly distributed mutations of some primitive genome which is constructed following a ten-parameter Markov process [1].
The proposed estimators can be used to construct a statistical test which indicates if a given DNA sequence can be simulated by the model.
