dc.description.abstract | This essay proposes methods to analyse the variability of biological data. The idea is to express the state of a biological system as a linear combination of base states in a Hilbert space. Coefficients of the linear combination can be interpreted as probabilities and informational entropy is associated to each state allowing the definition of a classical variability measure. Besides, state transition matrices can also be calculated and their norms express the dynamics of the system organization and a quantum variability measure. As the examples show, the classical measure expresses a structural variability and the quantum measure expresses a functional variability. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. | |
