Distinguished words in data sequences: analysis and applications to neural coding and other fields
1984
Dayhoff, J.E.
This paper concerns sequences of letters in which certain "distinguished" words are of interest. Such sequences arise as data in numerous fields including genetics and neuroscience. A probability distribution is given for the number of occurrences of a chosen word in a randomized sequence of letters, Such words are considered "favored" if they occur more than expected at random. Favored words have been discovered in nerve impulse trains and may reflect a neural coding scheme.
