Suppressing Background Radiation Using Poisson Principal Component Analysis
P. Tandon, P. Huggins, A. Dubrawski +2
Performance of nuclear threat detection systems based on gamma-ray spectrometry often strongly depends on the ability to identify the part of measured signal that can be attributed…
Canonical Autocorrelation Analysis
Maria De-Arteaga, Artur Dubrawski, Peter Huggins
We present an extension of sparse Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) designed for finding multiple-to-multiple linear correlations within a single set of variables. Unlike CCA, w…
Layered Heaps Beating Standard and Fibonacci Heaps in Practice
Peter Huggins
We consider the classic problem of designing heaps. Standard binary heaps run faster in practice than Fibonacci heaps but have worse time guarantees. Here we present a new type of…
kdetrees: Nonparametric Estimation of Phylogenetic Tree Distributions
Grady Weyenberg, Peter Huggins, Christopher Schardl +2
Motivation: While the majority of gene histories found in a clade of organisms are expected to be generated by a common process (e.g. the coalescent process), it is well-known that…
Statistical Phylogenetic Tree Analysis Using Differences of Means
Elissaveta Arnaoudova, David Haws, Peter Huggins +4
We propose a statistical method to test whether two phylogenetic trees with given alignments are significantly incongruent. Our method compares the two distributions of phylogeneti…
Bayes estimators for phylogenetic reconstruction
Peter Huggins, Wenbin Li, David Haws +3
Tree reconstruction methods are often judged by their accuracy, measured by how close they get to the true tree. Yet most reconstruction methods like ML do not explicitly maximize…
