A Bayesian method for detecting pairwise associations in compositional data
Compositional data consist of vectors of proportions normalized to a constant sum from a basis of unobserved counts. The sum constraint makes inference on correlations between unconstrained features challenging due to the information loss from normalization. However, such correlations are of long-standing interest in fields including ecology. We propose a novel Bayesian framework (BAnOCC: Bayes...
متن کاملA Bayesian method for detecting stellar flares
We present a Bayesian-odds-ratio-based algorithm for detecting stellar flares in light curve data. We assume flares are described by a model in which there is a rapid rise with a half-Gaussian profile, followed by an exponential decay. Our signal model also contains a polynomial background model required to fit underlying light curve variations in the data, which could otherwise partially mimic...
متن کاملBiological monitoring: A Bayesian Model for Multivariate Compositional Data
We develop a model to relate a multivariate compositional response to a number of covariates. We propose a new graphical model, called the Random Effects Discrete Regression (REDR) model, which allows for examination of the complex conditional relationships between a set of covariates and multiple discrete response variables. Our approach offers a number of advantages over previous approaches a...
متن کاملA Unified Method for Detecting Secondary Trait Associations with Rare Variants: Application to Sequence Data
Next-generation sequencing has made possible the detection of rare variant (RV) associations with quantitative traits (QT). Due to high sequencing cost, many studies can only sequence a modest number of selected samples with extreme QT. Therefore association testing in individual studies can be underpowered. Besides the primary trait, many clinically important secondary traits are often measure...
متن کاملA New Method for Detecting Species Associations with Spatially Autocorrelated Data
Many organisms display patchiness in their distribution patterns over a wide range of spatial scales. Patchy distribution patterns can be caused by processes such as growth, migration, reproduction, and mortality, which result in neighboring areas being more likely to contain a species than distant areas, a phenomenon known as positive spatial autocorrelation. When species are patchily distribu...
