Sample Complexity of Branch-length Estimation by Maximum Likelihood
David Clancy, Hanbaek Lyu, Sebastien Roch
We consider the branch-length estimation problem on a bifurcating tree: a character evolves along the edges of a binary tree according to a two-state symmetric Markov process, and…
Likelihood-Based Root State Reconstruction on a Tree: Sensitivity to Parameters and Applications
David Clancy, Hanbaek Lyu, Sebastien Roch +1
We consider a broadcasting problem on a tree where a binary digit (e.g., a spin or a nucleotide's purine/pyrimidine type) is propagated from the root to the leaves through symmetri…
Likelihood landscape of binary latent model on a tree
David Clancy, Hanbaek Lyu, Sebastien Roch
We investigate the optimization landscape of maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) for the Cavender-Farris-Neyman (CFN) model, a two-state latent tree model fundamental to statistica…
Understanding Of Size And Scale And Order-Of-Magnitude Reasoning In Secondary Science: A Teaching Experiment With Worked Examples As Educational Scaffold
Cedric Loretan, Andreas Müller, Marine Delaval +2
Understanding size and scale (USS) and order-of-magnitude reasoning (OMR) are critical for scientific literacy. This study examines an educational approach to enhance these skills…
An Approximation Algorithm for Stackelberg Network Pricing
S. Roch, P. Marcotte, G. Savard
We consider the problem of maximizing the revenue raised from tolls set on the arcs of a transportation network, under the constraint that users are assigned to toll-compatible sho…
