What are the Odds? Probabilistic programming in Scala

Tiark Rompf, Nada Amin, Sandro Stucki, Manohar Jonnalagedda

Probabilistic programming is a powerful high-level paradigm for probabilistic modeling and inference. We present Odds, a small domain-specific language (DSL) for probabilistic programming, embedded in Scala. Odds provides first-class support for random var ...

Statistical Inference for Partially Observed Stochastic Epidemics

Andrea Kraus

This work is concerned with the estimation of the spreading potential of the disease in the initial stages of an epidemic. A speedy and accurate estimation is important for determining whether or not interventions are necessary to prevent a major outbreak. ...

Fourier Analysis Of Stationary Time Series In Function Space

Victor Panaretos, Shahin Tavakoli

We develop the basic building blocks of a frequency domain framework for drawing statistical inferences on the second-order structure of a stationary sequence of functional data. The key element in such a context is the spectral density operator, which gen ...

Recent Progress in Polymorphism-Based Population Genetic Inference

Jeffrey David Jensen

The recent availability of whole-genome sequencing data affords tremendous power for statistical inference. With this, there has been great interest in the development of polymorphism-based approaches for the estimation of population genetic parameters. Th ...

Large Scale Variational Bayesian Inference for Structured Scale Mixture Models

Matthias Seeger, Young Jun Ko

Natural image statistics exhibit hierarchical dependencies across multiple scales. Representing such prior knowledge in non-factorial latent tree models can boost performance of image denoising, inpainting, deconvolution or reconstruction substantially, be ...

OPTIMAL MULTIPLE TESTS

Stephan Morgenthaler, Djalel Eddine Meskaldji

When many (m) null hypotheses are tested with a single dataset, the control of the number of false rejections is often the principal consideration. Two popular controlling rates are the probability of making at least one false discovery (Bonferroni) and th ...

Socio-Technical Network Analysis from Wearable Interactions

Rémi Emonet, Katayoun Farrahi

complexity and computational social sciences. This paper draws from explicit (phone calls, SMS messaging) and implicit (proximity sensing based on Bluetooth radio signals) interaction patterns collected via smartphones and reality mining techniques to expl ...

Bayesian inference from composite likelihoods, with an application to spatial extremes

Anthony Christopher Davison

Composite likelihoods are increasingly used in applications where the full likelihood is analytically unknown or computationally prohibitive. Although some frequentist properties of the maximum composite likelihood estimator are akin to those of the maximu ...

Reconstruction of Biomedical Images and Sparse Stochastic Modeling

Michaël Unser, Emrah Bostan, Ulugbek Kamilov

We propose a novel statistical formulation of the image-reconstruction problem from noisy linear measurements. We derive an extended family of MAP estimators based on the theory of continuous-domain sparse stochastic processes. We highlight the crucial ro ...
