By creating networks of biochemical pathways, communities of micro-organisms are able to modulate the properties of their environment and even the metabolic processes within their hosts. Next-generation high-throughput sequencing has led to…
Presence-absence data is defined by vectors or matrices of zeroes and ones, where the ones usually indicate a "presence" in a certain place. Presence-absence data occur for example when investigating geographical species distributions,…
Compositional data (i.e., data comprising random variables that sum up to a constant) arises in many applications including microbiome studies, chemical ecology, political science, and experimental designs. Yet when compositional data serve…
We propose a novel method to detect and date structural breaks in the entire distribution of functional data. Theoretical guarantees are developed for our procedure under fewer assumptions than in the existing work. In particular, we…
Many data sets cannot be accurately described by standard probability distributions due to the excess number of zero values present. For example, zero-inflation is prevalent in microbiome data and single-cell RNA sequencing data, which…
Compositional data analysis is concerned with multivariate data that have a constant sum, usually 1 or 100\%. These are data often found in biochemistry and geochemistry, but also in the social sciences, when relative values are of interest…
In human microbiome studies, sequencing reads data are often summarized as counts of bacterial taxa at various taxonomic levels specified by a taxonomic tree. This paper considers the problem of analyzing two repeated measurements of…
Estimating a covariance matrix is central to high-dimensional data analysis. Empirical analyses of high-dimensional biomedical data, including genomics, proteomics, microbiome, and neuroimaging, among others, consistently reveal strong…
Differential abundance analysis is at the core of statistical analysis of microbiome data. The compositional nature of microbiome sequencing data makes false positive control challenging. Here, we show that the compositional effects can be…
Systems biology models are useful models of complex biological systems that may require a large amount of experimental data to fit each model's parameters or to approximate a likelihood function. These models range from a few to thousands…
Missing data are frequently encountered in high-dimensional problems, but they are usually difficult to deal with using standard algorithms, such as the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm and its variants. To tackle this difficulty,…
Bayesian modelling for cost-effectiveness data has received much attention in both the health economics and the statistical literature in recent years. Cost-effectiveness data are characterised by a relatively complex structure of…
