We introduce the general transition-based reweighting analysis method (TRAM), a statistically optimal approach to integrate both unbiased and biased molecular dynamics simulations, such as umbrella sampling or replica exchange. TRAM estimates a multiensemble Markov model (MEMM) with full thermodynamic and kinetic information at all ensembles. The approach combines the benefits of Markov state models—clustering of high-dimensional spaces and modeling of complex many-state systems—with those of the multistate Bennett acceptance ratio of exploiting biased or high-temperature ensembles to accelerate rare-event sampling. TRAM does not depend on any rate model in addition to the widely used Markov state model approximation, but uses only fundamental relations such as detailed balance and binless reweighting of configurations between ensembles. Previous methods, including the multistate Bennett acceptance ratio, discrete TRAM, and Markov state models are special cases and can be derived from the TRAM equations. TRAM is demonstrated by efficiently computing MEMMs in cases where other estimators break down, including the full thermodynamics and rare-event kinetics from high-dimensional simulation data of an all-atom protein–ligand binding model.

<span>Monomodal biometry does not constitute an effective measure to meet the desired performance requirements for large-scale applications, due to limita-tions such as noisy data, restricted degree of freedom and unacceptable error rates. Some of these problems can be solved through multimodal biometric systems that involve using a combination of two or more biometric modali-ties in a single identification system. Identification based on multiple biomet-rics represents an emerging trend. The reason for combining different modal-ities is to improve the recognition rate. In practice, multi-biometric aims to reduce the False Acceptance Ratio (FAR) and False Rejection Ratio (FRR) which are two standard metrics widely used in the accuracy of biometric sys-tems. In this paper, we will examine the different possible scenario in multi-modal biometric systems using RFID, fingerprint and facial recognition, that can be adopted to merge information and improve the overall accuracy of the system.</span>

Following the previously proposed equilibrate-state sampling based adaptive sampling regime Optimum Bennett Acceptance Ratio (OBAR), we introduce its nonequilibrium extension, Optimum Crooks’ Equation (OCE) in the current work.
