We propose an online false discovery rate (FDR) controlling method based on conditional local FDR (LIS), designed for infectious disease datasets that are discrete and exhibit complex dependencies. Unlike existing online FDR methods, which…
In modern multiple hypothesis testing, the availability of covariate information alongside the primary test statistics has motivated the development of more powerful and adaptive inference methods. However, most existing approaches rely on…
We propose a novel approach to the estimation of multiple Graphical Models to analyse temporal patterns of association among a set of metabolites over different groups of patients. Our motivating application is the Southall And Brent…
In many statistical problems the hypotheses are naturally divided into groups, and the investigators are interested to perform group-level inference, possibly along with inference on individual hypotheses. We consider the goal of…
Flux balance analysis has proven an effective tool for analyzing metabolic networks. In flux balance analysis, reaction rates and optimal pathways are ascertained by solving a linear program, in which the growth rate is maximized subject to…
Microbes can affect processes from food production to human health. Such microbes are not isolated, but rather interact with each other and establish connections with their living environments. Understanding these interactions is essential…
Graph-based machine learning methods are useful tools in the identification and prediction of variation in genetic data. In particular, the comprehension of phenotypic effects at the cellular level is an accelerating research area in…
Multiple testing with discrete p-values routinely arises in various scientific endeavors. However, procedures, including the false discovery rate (FDR) controlling Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) procedure, often used in such settings, being…
Multiple hypotheses testing is a core problem in statistical inference and arises in almost every scientific field. Given a sequence of null hypotheses $\mathcal{H}(n) = (H_1,..., H_n)$, Benjamini and Hochberg…
Modern data analysis frequently involves large-scale hypothesis testing, which naturally gives rise to the problem of maintaining control of a suitable type I error rate, such as the false discovery rate (FDR). In many biomedical and…
We investigate the multiplicity model with m values of some test statistic independently drawn from a mixture of no effect (null) and positive effect (alternative), where we seek to identify, the alternative test results with a controlled…
Controlling False Discovery Rate (FDR) while leveraging the side information of multiple hypothesis testing is an emerging research topic in modern data science. Existing methods rely on the test-level covariates while ignoring metrics…
In high-throughput biology, it is common to fit thousands of linear regressions -- one per gene, protein, or other unit -- with very few samples per unit. Limma-trend, one of the most widely used methods in this setting, improves power by…
Inferring topological characteristics of complex networks from observed data is critical to understand the dynamical behavior of networked systems, ranging from the Internet and the World Wide Web to biological networks and social networks.…
Metagenomics has lowered the barrier to microbial discovery--enabling the identification of novel microbes without isolation--but cultures remain imperative for the deep study of microbes. Cultivation and isolation of non-model microbes…
Controlling the False Discovery Rate (FDR) in a variable selection procedure is critical for reproducible discoveries, and it has been extensively studied in sparse linear models. However, it remains largely open in scenarios where the…
Alcohol consumption has been shown to influence cardiovascular mechanisms in humans, leading to observable alterations in the plasma metabolomic profile. Regression models are commonly employed to investigate these effects, treating…
Antibiotics are a vital class of drugs closely associated with the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections. Accurate prediction of molecular antimicrobial activity remains a key challenge in the pursuit of novel antibiotic…
We present the methods and results of a two-stage modeling process that generates candidate gene-regulatory networks of the bacterium B. subtilis from experimentally obtained, yet mathematically underdetermined microchip array data. By…
Recent research on network embedding in hyperbolic space have proven successful in several applications. However, nodes in real world networks tend to interact through several distinct channels. Simple aggregation or ignorance of this…
