Sorry but one thing in your video is fundamentally wrong and has concerned me for a while. I think if the y is on the vertical axis and x is on the horizontal axis, the way to align x to a gap(or insertion in x) is to move horizontally, not vertically. You are referring to the formula but the in the formula, x is on the vertical axis. Correct me if I am wrong.
Hi, Dr. B, I am confused by the formula you showed in the video compared to the Book《Biological sequence analysis: Probabilistic models of proteins and nucleic acids》, Chapter 2, I can't figure it our what's difference between those formula, Could you please give me a hint?
