Genomics: Think Global, Act Local
Long a slogan for environmentalists, ‘‘think global, act local’’ could be a new rallying cry for biologists. As genome-wide techniques advance and their costs drop, scientists are expanding into larger and larger territories—metagenomics, global proteomic approaches, and analyses of thousands of genomes. These massive data sets are opening up new possibilities for understanding some of the smal...
متن کاملThink Global, Act Local When Estimating a Sparse Precision Matrix
Substantial progress has been made in the estimation of sparse high dimensional precision matrices from scant datasets. This is important because precision matrices underpin common tasks such as regression, discriminant analysis, and portfolio optimization. However, few good algorithms for this task exist outside the space of L1 penalized optimization approaches like GLASSO. This thesis introdu...
متن کاملNetwork Creation Games: Think Global - Act Local
We investigate a non-cooperative game-theoretic model for the formation of communi-cation networks by selfish agents. Each agent aims for a central position at minimumcost for creating edges. In particular, the general model (Fabrikant et al., PODC’03)became popular for studying the structure of the Internet or social networks. De-spite its significance, locality in this gam...
متن کاملThink global, act local: Preserving the global commons
Preserving global public goods, such as the planet's ecosystem, depends on large-scale cooperation, which is difficult to achieve because the standard reciprocity mechanisms weaken in large groups. Here we demonstrate a method by which reciprocity can maintain cooperation in a large-scale public goods game (PGG). In a first experiment, participants in groups of on average 39 people play one rou...
متن کاملThink Global, Act Local; Projectome Estimation with BlueMatter
Estimating the complete set of white matter fascicles (the projectome) from diffusion data requires evaluating an enormous number of potential pathways; consequently, most algorithms use computationally efficient greedy methods to search for pathways. The limitation of this approach is that critical global parameters--such as data prediction error and white matter volume conservation--are not t...
