One of the grand challenges in our networked world are the large, complex, and often weakly structured data sets along with the massive amounts of unstructered information. This "big data" challenge (V4 Challenge: Volume, Variety, Velocity, Veracity) is most evident in the biomedical domain: the trend towards personalized medicine (P4 Medicine: Predictive, Preventative, Participatory, Personalized) has resulted in an explosion in the amount of generated biomedical data sets- in particular Omics data (e.g. from genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, transcriptomics, epigenetics, microbiomics, fluxomics, phenomics, etc.). This supplement is a special collection of 7 peer reviewed articles carefully selected to provide an overview of this novel, emerging and important new area.

  3. Heart rate variability is the variation of the time interval between consecutive heartbeats. Entropy is a commonly used tool to describe the regularity of data sets. Entropy functions are defined using multipl...
