Mixed-curvature decision trees and random forests

Philippe Chlenski, Quentin Chu, Raiyan R. Khan +3

Decision trees (DTs) and their random forest (RF) extensions are workhorses of classification and regression in Euclidean spaces. However, algorithms for learning in non-Euclidean…

Distributional bias compromises leave-one-out cross-validation

George I. Austin, Itsik Pe'er, Tal Korem

Cross-validation is a common method for estimating the predictive performance of machine learning models. In a data-scarce regime, where one typically wishes to maximize the number…

A note on the distribution of admixture segment lengths and ancestry proportions under pulse and two-wave admixture models

Shai Carmi, James Xue, Itsik Pe'er

Admixed populations are formed by the merging of two or more ancestral populations, and the ancestry of each locus in an admixed genome derives from either source. Consider a simpl…

A renewal theory approach to IBD sharing

Shai Carmi, Peter Wilton, John Wakeley +1

A long genomic segment inherited by a pair of individuals from a single, recent common ancestor is said to be identical-by-descent (IBD). Shared IBD segments have numerous applicat…
