Thanks for the pointer to this. It's an excellent article, and would also be great for teaching. It appears that Nature Biotechnology has a whole series of such tutorial papers. This Google Scholar search turns up a bunch of good ones: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=intitle%3A%22what+is%22%7C%22what+are%22&as_publication=nature+biotechnology In case that long URL gets broken via e.mail, here is a shortened version: http://tinyurl.com/6e4u7ct Here are direct links to some which look good: What is Bayesian statistics? http://www.marcottelab.org/users/CH391L/Handouts/NBTPrimer-Bayes.pdf What is Principal Components Analysis? http://www.marcottelab.org/users/CH391L/Handouts/Nbt_primer-PCA.pdf What are Decision Trees? http://www.gersteinlab.org/courses/452/09-spring/pdf/DecisionTrees.pdf What is a Hidden Markov Model? http://bio5495.wustl.edu/HMMs/Eddy-ATG4-reprint.pdf What is the Expectation Maximization algorithm? http://cs.utsa.edu/~jruan/teaching/cs5263_fall_2008/reading/whatisEM.pdf What are Artificial Neural Networks? http://www.apl.jhu.edu/~przytyck/neural_net_primer.pdf What is Dynamic Programming? http://www.marcottelab.org/users/CH391L/Handouts/Lecture5-NBT-primer-dynamicprogramming.pdf [This last one was alread given above, but here is again anyway] What is a Support Vector Machine? http://www.cs.ucf.edu/~haihu/cap6545/Readings/svm/noble_svm.pdf That journal really contains a treasure trove! Thanks again to Brian Murphy for the original link to it.
