Table 3 Number of combinations of pairs allocations of hamming distance from 0 to r

From: Multi-membership gene regulation in pathway based microarray analysis

Hamming Dist.

Number of possible occurrences

0:

2n - 1

1:

(2n- 1 - n)n + n(n -1) = (2n -2)n

2:

2 n - 1 - n 2 n 2 + n 2 n 2 - 1 = = n 2 2 n - 2

r:

2 n - 1 - n r n r + n r n r - 1 = = n r 2 n - 2

  1. Using the equations on Table 3 we can estimate the number of all possible combinations of allocations, represented as binary strings, of hamming distance from 1 to r
