Bayesian approach to inference of population structure
Methods of inferring the population structure, its applications in identifying disease models as well as foresighting the physical and mental situation of human beings have been finding ever-increasing importance. In this article, first, motivation and significance of studying the problem of population structure is explained. In the next section, the applications of inference of p...
متن کاملInferring Network Structure from Cascades
Many physical, biological, and social phenomena can be described by cascades taking place on a network. Often, the activity can be empirically observed, but not the underlying network of interactions. In this paper we offer three topological methods to infer the structure of any directed network given a set of cascade arrival times. Our formulas hold for a very general class of models where the...
متن کاملNetwork Topology Inference Using Information Cascades with Limited Statistical Knowledge
We study the problem of inferring network topology from information cascades, in which the amount of time taken for information to diffuse across an edge in the network follows an unknown distribution. Unlike previous studies, which assume knowledge of these distributions, we only require that diffusion along different edges in the network be independent together with limited moment information...
متن کاملBayesian Network Structure Inference with an Hierarchical Bayesian Model
Bayesian Networks (BNs) are applied to a wide range of applications. In the past few years great interest is dedicated to the problem of inferring the structure of BNs solely from the data. In this work we explore a probabilistic method which enables the inclusion of extra knowledge in the inference of BNs. We briefly present the theory of BNs and introduce our probabilistic model. We also pres...
متن کاملNetwork structure inhibits information cascades in heavy-tailed social networks
Information and ideas spread over social networks, with online social media platforms being a powerful medium to accelerate information ow. Characterising and understanding the role of network structure on this information ow is important in numerous elds, yet is limited by the availability of network data exhibiting a range of structural properties. It is therefore essential to use mathemat...
