Spatial interaction patterns such as segregation and association can be tested using nearest neighbor contingency tables (NNCTs). We introduce new cell-specific (or pairwise) and overall segregation tests and determine their asymptotic…
The family-wise error rate (FWER) has been widely used in genome-wide association studies. With the increasing availability of functional genomics data, it is possible to increase the detection power by leveraging these genomic functional…
Diagnostic accuracy studies assess sensitivity and specificity of a new index test in relation to an established comparator or the reference standard. The development and selection of the index test is usually assumed to be conducted prior…
The strong coupling limit of lattice QCD with staggered fermions has been studied for decades, both via Monte Carlo and via mean field theory. In this model, the finite density sign problem can be made mild and the full phase diagram can be…
Randomization tests and flexible treatment-effect models offer complementary strengths for analyzing data from randomized panel experiments: the former provide valid inference under the known assignment mechanism, while the latter can…
For many conditions, it is of clinical importance to know not just the ability of a test to distinguish between those with and without the disease, but also the sensitivity to detect disease at different stages: in particular, the test's…
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) can be used to generate guarantees on treatment effects. However, RCTs often spend unnecessary resources exploring sub-optimal treatments, which can reduce the power of treatment guarantees. To address…
We develop a model-based methodology for integrating gene-set information with an experimentally-derived gene list. The methodology uses a previously reported sampling model, but takes advantage of natural constraints in the…
Distance-based regression model, as a nonparametric multivariate method, has been widely used to detect the association between variations in a distance or dissimilarity matrix for outcomes and predictor variables of interest in genetic…
Using a new variant of photoelectron spectroscopy, we measure the homogeneous near-nodal pairing ($\Delta$) and pair-breaking self-energy ($\Gamma_S$) processes for a wide range of doping levels of Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$. For…
In this paper we consider the problem of learning the genetic-interaction-map, i.e., the topology of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) of genetic interactions from noisy double knockout (DK) data. Based on a set of well established biological…
Primarily motivated by the drug development process, several publications have now presented methodology for the design of multi-arm multi-stage experiments with normally distributed outcome variables of known variance. Here, we extend…
The vast majority of connections between complex disease and common genetic variants were identified through meta-analysis, a powerful approach that enables large samples sizes while protecting against common artifacts due to population…
The phase diagram of cuprate high-temperature superconductors is investigated on the basis of the three-band d-p model. We use the optimization variational Monte Carlo method, where improved many-body wave functions have been proposed to…
Hypothesis testing of structure in covariance matrices is of significant importance, but faces great challenges in high-dimensional settings. Although consistent frequentist one-sample covariance tests have been proposed, there is a lack of…
Clinical end-point traits are often characterized by quantitative or qualitative precursors and it has been argued that it may be statistically a more powerful strategy to analyze these precursor traits to decipher the genetic architecture…
Multi-arm multi-stage trial designs can bring notable gains in efficiency to the drug development process. However, for normally distributed endpoints, the determination of a design typically depends on the assumption that the patient…
Genetic association study is an essential step to discover genetic factors that are associated with a complex trait of interest. In this paper we present a novel generalized quasi-likelihood score (GQLS) test that is suitable for a study…
Modern GANs often introduce adversarial supervision on intermediate generator outputs and interpret the resulting multi-stage synthesis as coarse-to-fine hierarchical generation. In this work, we challenge this interpretation. We argue that…
Substantial progress has been made in identifying single genetic variants predisposing to common complex diseases. Nonetheless, the genetic etiology of human diseases remains largely unknown. Human complex diseases are likely influenced by…
