Forecasting of commercial sales with large scale Gaussian Processes

This paper argues that there has not been enough discussion in the field of applications of Gaussian Process for the fast moving consumer goods industry. Yet, this technique can be important as it e.g., can provide automatic feature relevance determination and the posterior mean can unlock insights on the data. Significant challenges are the large size and high dimensionality of commercial data at a point of sale. The study reviews approaches in the Gaussian Processes modeling for large data sets, evaluates their performance on commercial sales and shows value of this type of models as a decision-making tool for management.Comment: 1o pages, 5 figure

Additional file 3: NanoString Technical Replicates. of MicroRNA molecular profiling from matched tumor and bio-fluids in bladder cancer

Correlations of NanoString nCounter microRNA assay technical replicates. Technical replicates of FFPE-derived total RNA (A) and urine exosome microRNA (B) were run on the NanoString nCounter microRNA assay. Strong correlation was seen in both the FFPE samples (r = 0.96 p <0.01) and the urine exosome samples (r = 0.95 p < 0.001). (TIF 1521 kb

BioAnalyzer Electropherograms of Total RNA or microRNA isolated from Bladder Cancer Bio-specimens. Total RNA or microRNA was isolated from FFPE tumor slices, urine exosomes, enriched WBCs (Buffy) as described in methods. 1 ul per sample run on BioAnalyzer 2100 with the Small RNA Chip kit. MIcroRNA seen at 20–40 nt (37–45 s), additional peaks in electropheregram represent tRNA and other small RNAs. (TIF 1521 kb

Schematic representation of human <i>NR3C1</i> 5′ regulatory region, and the specific region analyzed by bisulfite pyrosequencing.

<p>The upper diagram represents the multiple first exons, and the second exon (2) which represents the translational start. All numbering is based on the translational start site (+1), which is located 13 nucleotides within the start of exon 2. The lower region is the region analyzed by pyrosequencing, with the 13 CpG sites in bold and numbered above the sequence, and the full exon 1F region underlined.</p
