An improved approximation for assessing the statistical significance of molecular sequence features

Using random walk theory, we first establish explicitly the exact distribution of the maximal partial sum of a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables. This result allows us to obtain a new approximation of the distribution of the local score of one sequence. This approx...
