A linear adjustment based approach to posterior drift in transfer learning

Subha Maity, Diptavo Dutta, Jonathan Terhorst +2

We present a new model and methods for the posterior drift problem where the regression function in the target domain is modeled as a linear adjustment (on an appropriate scale) of…

Exact and arbitrarily accurate non-parametric two-sample tests based on rank spacings

Dan D. Erdmann-Pham, Jonathan Terhorst, Yun S. Song

A common method for deriving non-parametric tests is to reformulate a parametric test in terms of sample ranks. Despite being distribution free (even in finite samples), the result…

Explaining Groups of Points in Low-Dimensional Representations

Gregory Plumb, Jonathan Terhorst, Sriram Sankararaman +1

A common workflow in data exploration is to learn a low-dimensional representation of the data, identify groups of points in that representation, and examine the differences betwee…

Inference of Population History using Coalescent HMMs: Review and Outlook

Jeffrey P. Spence, Matthias Steinrücken, Jonathan Terhorst +1

Studying how diverse human populations are related is of historical and anthropological interest, in addition to providing a realistic null model for testing for signatures of natu…

Fundamental limits on the accuracy of demographic inference based on the sample frequency spectrum

Jonathan Terhorst, Yun S. Song

The sample frequency spectrum (SFS) of DNA sequences from a collection of individuals is a summary statistic which is commonly used for parametric inference in population genetics.…

Efficient computation of the joint sample frequency spectra for multiple populations

John A. Kamm, Jonathan Terhorst, Yun S. Song

A wide range of studies in population genetics have employed the sample frequency spectrum (SFS), a summary statistic which describes the distribution of mutant alleles at a polymo…
