Patents by Inventor Jia-Wu Feng

Jia-Wu Feng has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • METHODS, SOFTWARE ARRANGEMENTS, STORAGE MEDIA, AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING A SHRINKAGE-BASED SIMILARITY METRIC
    Publication number: 20120253960
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems, methods, and software arrangements for determining associations between two or more datasets. The systems, methods, and software arrangements used to determine such associations include a determination of a correlation coefficient that incorporates both prior assumptions regarding such datasets and actual information regarding the datasets. The systems, methods, and software arrangements of the present invention can be useful in an analysis of microarray data, including gene expression arrays, to determine correlations between genotypes and phenotypes. Accordingly, the systems, methods, and software arrangements of the present invention may be utilized to determine a genetic basis of complex genetic disorder (e.g. those characterized by the involvement of more than one gene).
