Dissecting High-Dimensional Phenotypes with Bayesian Sparse Factor Analysis of Genetic Covariance Matrices
Quantitative genetic studies that model complex, multivariate phenotypes are important for both evolutionary prediction and artificial selection. For example, changes in gene expression can provide insight into developmental and physiological mechanisms that link genotype and phenotype. However, classical analytical techniques are poorly suited to quantitative genetic studies of gene expression...
متن کاملA Metropolis-Hastings algorithm for reduced rank covariance matrices with application to Bayesian factor models
Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms for Bayesian factor models are generally parametrized in terms of the loading matrix and the latent common factors which are sampled into two separate blocks. In this paper, we propose a novel implementation of the MCMC algorithm that is designed for the model parametrized in terms of the reduced rank covariance matrix underlying the factor model. Henc...
متن کاملBayesian analysis of covariance matrices and dynamic models for longitudinal data
Parsimonious modelling of the within-subject covariance structure while heeding its positive-definiteness is of great importance in the analysis of longitudinal data. Using the Cholesky decomposition and the ensuing unconstrained and statistically meaningful reparameterisation, we provide a convenient and intuitive framework for developing conditionally conjugate prior distributions for covaria...
متن کاملPosterior Contraction in Sparse Bayesian Factor Models for Massive Covariance
Sparse Bayesian factor models are routinely implemented for parsimonious dependence modeling and dimensionality reduction in highdimensional applications. We provide theoretical understanding of such Bayesian procedures in terms of posterior convergence rates in inferring high-dimensional covariance matrices where the dimension can be potentially larger than the sample size. Under relevant spar...
متن کاملNonparametric Bayesian models for a spatial covariance.
A crucial step in the analysis of spatial data is to estimate the spatial correlation function that determines the relationship between a spatial process at two locations. The standard approach to selecting the appropriate correlation function is to use prior knowledge or exploratory analysis, such as a variogram analysis, to select the correct parametric correlation function. Rather that selec...
