A Bayesian approach is used to estimate the covariance matrix of Gaussian data. Ideas from Gaussian graphical models and model selection are used to construct a prior for the covariance matrix that is a mixture over all decomposable graphs.…

Comparing composite models for multi-component observational data is a prevalent scientific challenge. When fitting composite models, there exists the potential for systematics from a poor fit of one model component to be absorbed by…

The Mapper algorithm, a technique within topological data analysis (TDA), constructs a simplified graphical representation of high-dimensional data to uncover its underlying shape and structural patterns. The algorithm has attracted…
