Longitudinal fMRI datasets hold great promise for the study of neurodegenerative diseases, but realizing their potential depends on extracting accurate fMRI-based brain measures in individuals over time. This is especially true for rare,…
Gaussian graphical models (GGMs) are well-established tools for probabilistic exploration of dependence structures using precision matrices. We develop a Bayesian method to incorporate covariate information in this GGMs setup in a nonlinear…
Genome-wide Association Studies (GWASes) identify genomic variations that are statistically associated with a trait, such as a disease, in a group of individuals. Unfortunately, careless sharing of GWAS statistics might give rise to privacy…
Most estimates for penalised linear regression can be viewed as posterior modes for an appropriate choice of prior distribution. Bayesian shrinkage methods, particularly the horseshoe estimator, have recently attracted a great deal of…
Reproducibility in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) is crucial for ensuring reliable genomic research outcomes. However, limited access to original genomic datasets (mainly due to privacy concerns) prevents researchers from…
In Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) where multiple correlated traits have been measured on participants, a joint analysis strategy, whereby the traits are analyzed jointly, can improve statistical power over a single-trait analysis…
High-dimensional variable selection, with many more covariates than observations, is widely documented in standard regression models, but there are still few tools to address it in non-linear mixed-effects models where data are collected…

Feature selection is demanded in many modern scientific research problems that use high-dimensional data. A typical example is to find the most useful genes that are related to a certain disease (eg, cancer) from high-dimensional gene…
This article describes a full Bayesian treatment for simultaneous fixed-effect selection and parameter estimation in high-dimensional generalized linear mixed models. The approach consists of using a Bayesian adaptive Lasso penalty for…
Functional mixed models are widely useful for regression analysis with dependent functional data, including longitudinal functional data with scalar predictors. However, existing algorithms for Bayesian inference with these models only…
Genetic Gaussian network of multiple phenotypes constructed through the genetic correlation matrix is informative for understanding their biological dependencies. However, its interpretation may be challenging because the estimated genetic…
We propose the Bayesian adaptive Lasso (BaLasso) for variable selection and coefficient estimation in linear regression. The BaLasso is adaptive to the signal level by adopting different shrinkage for different coefficients. Furthermore, we…
