10 Simple Rules for the Care and Feeding of Scientific Data
Alyssa Goodman, Alberto Pepe, Alexander W. Blocker +12
This article offers a short guide to the steps scientists can take to ensure that their data and associated analyses continue to be of value and to be recognized. In just the past…
Weakly supervised clustering: Learning fine-grained signals from coarse labels
Stefan Wager, Alexander Blocker, Niall Cardin
Consider a classification problem where we do not have access to labels for individual training examples, but only have average labels over subpopulations. We give practical exampl…
The potential and perils of preprocessing: Building new foundations
Alexander W. Blocker, Xiao-Li Meng
Preprocessing forms an oft-neglected foundation for a wide range of statistical and scientific analyses. However, it is rife with subtleties and pitfalls. Decisions made in preproc…
Semi-parametric Robust Event Detection for Massive Time-Domain Databases
Alexander W Blocker, Pavlos Protopapas
The detection and analysis of events within massive collections of time-series has become an extremely important task for time-domain astronomy. In particular, many scientific inve…
Estimating latent processes on a network from indirect measurements
Edoardo M. Airoldi, Alexander W. Blocker
In a communication network, point-to-point traffic volumes over time are critical for designing protocols that route information efficiently and for maintaining security, whether a…
Deconvolution of mixing time series on a graph
Alexander W. Blocker, Edoardo M. Airoldi
In many applications we are interested in making inference on latent time series from indirect measurements, which are often low-dimensional projections resulting from mixing or ag…
