Optimal choice of word length when comparing two Markov sequences using a χ(2)-statistic

BACKGROUND: Alignment-free sequence comparison using counts of word patterns (grams, k-tuples) has become an active research topic due to the large amount of sequence data from the new sequencing technologies. Genome sequences are frequently modelled by Markov chains and the likelihood ratio test or...
