3 What is data analysis

4 Process of analysis of sampled data in space and time May include the use of statistics, or not!

5 Non-statistical tools Graphs Visual inspection tools mechanistic models nature-based methods Statistical methods: less common Statistical methods: traditional approaches

6 Graphs

7 Non-statistical tools Graphs: traditional

8 Non-statistical tools Graphs: new styles We will come back to this later Krzywinski M, et al. (2009) Circos: An information aesthetic for comparative genomics. Genome Res 19(9):

9 Visual inspection

10 Non-statistical tools Visual inspection tools: e.g. with the help of some empirical evidences: repetitive patterns

11 repetitive patterns: Fibonacci's Rabbits Fibonacci investigated (in 1202) how fast rabbits could breed in ideal circumstances. Suppose a pair of rabbits, one male, one female, are put in a field. Rabbits are able to mate at the age of one month so that at the end of its second month a female can produce another pair of rabbits. Suppose that our rabbits never die and that the female always produces one new pair (one male, one female) every month from the second month on. How many pairs will there be in one year? The number of pairs of rabbits in the field at the start of each month is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34,...

12 repetitive patterns: The Golden Ratio There s an interesting property of Fibonacci numbers: if one takes the ratio of two successive numbers of the Fibonacci's series, (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13,..) the result is: Why is it important? 1/1=1 2/1=2 3/2= 1.5 5/3= /5) /8= f(n)=f(n-1)+f(n-2) if n>2 The ratio converges quickly to 1.618

13 The Golden Ratio Many of nature s patterns follow the Golden Ratio (1.618), or integral multiples of submultiples Draw two squares of dimension 1 side by side; add another of d=2 on top of these; then another of size d=3 at the side of; and so on, following the Fibonacci sequence. Add a quarter of circle inside the squares connecting it in sequence r r r The distance between the center of the square and the spiral, r, increases from square to the following by

14 The Golden Ratio Many of nature s patterns follow the Golden Ratio (1.618), or integral multiples of submultiples

15 The Golden Ratio Many of nature s patterns follow the Golden Ratio (1.618), or integral multiples of submultiples Golden ratios: The distance from the hip to the knee, and from the knee to the ankle. The distance from the top of the head to the nose, and from the nose to the chin. The distance between the shoulder joint to the elbow, and from the elbow to the finger tips. The distance between the wrist, the knuckles, the first and second joints of the fingers, and the finger tips.

16 The Golden Ratio Has inspired artists and architects throughout the time, maybe it can inspire also scientists... It ahs been hypothesized that the Fibonacci relations found in nature may originate from fractal structures and quasiperiodic crystals starting at a molecular level (Gardiner, 2012).

20 Mechanistic models

21 Mechanistic models Remember that all models are wrong; the practical question is how wrong do they have to be to not be useful (Box, G. E. P., and Draper, N. R., (1987), Empirical Model Building and Response Surfaces, John Wiley & Sons, New York, NY) A mechanistic model has the following advantages: 1. It contributes to our scientific understanding of the phenomenon under study. 2. It usually provides a better basis for extrapolation (at least to conditions worthy of further experimental investigation if not through the entire range of all input variables). 3. It tends to be parsimonious (i.e, frugal) in the use of parameters and to provide better estimates of the response. (op. cit.)

22 Non-mechanistic models: statistical and naturebased We will review briefly some nature-based approaches and leave the statistical methods for latter

23 Nature-based models Cellular automaton

24 Non-mechanistic models: nature-based e.g.: Cellular automaton Neural networks Ant colonies, genetic algorithms, etc.

25 Non-mechanistic models: Cellular automaton (Stanisław Ulam and John von Neumann, 1940) A cellular automaton is a model of a system of cell objects, used to model physical systems and to perform parallel computations, with the following characteristics: The cells live on a grid (1D, 2D, or 3D); Each cell has a state. The number of state possibilities is typically finite. The simplest example has the two possibilities of 1 and 0 ( on and off or alive and dead ); Each cell has a neighborhood, defined in many ways, but it is typically a list of adjacent cells. Barone, D. (2003). Sociedades artificiais, Bookman, Artmed Editora. S.A., Porto Alegre, Brasil.

26 Non-mechanistic models: Cellular automaton (Stanisław Ulam and John von Neumann, 1940) A cellular automaton (CA) is defined by: A grid, L, where each element is designated a cell ; A finite index of neighbours, N, such that N =n; A finite number of states, S (e.g., on, off, or alive, dead ) A transition function, f: Sn -> S The 4-tuple(L,S,N,f) is a cellular automaton. A CA is fully characterized by i) its geometry, ii) cell s states, iii) transition function.

43 Nature-based models Neural networks

44 Non-mechanistic models: neural networks An artificial neuron is a computational model inspired in the natural neurons: Artificial neural networks basically consist of inputs (like synapses), which are multiplied by weights (strength of the respective signals), and then computed by a mathematical function which determines the activation of the neuron. Another function (which may be the identity) computes the output of the artificial neuron.
