The Lévy combination test
Daniel J. Wilson
A novel class of methods for combining -values to perform aggregate hypothesis tests has emerged that exploit the properties of heavy-tailed Stable distributions. These methods…
Sequential Monte Carlo with transformations
Richard G Everitt, Richard Culliford, Felipe Medina-Aguayo +1
This paper introduces methodology for performing Bayesian inference sequentially on a sequence of posteriors on spaces of different dimensions. We show how this may be achieved thr…
SCOTTI: Efficient Reconstruction of Transmission within Outbreaks with the Structured Coalescent
Nicola De Maio, Chieh-Hsi Wu, Daniel J Wilson
Exploiting pathogen genomes to reconstruct transmission represents a powerful tool in the fight against infectious disease. However, their interpretation rests on a number of simpl…
Identifying lineage effects when controlling for population structure improves power in bacterial association studies
Sarah G Earle, Chieh-Hsi Wu, Jane Charlesworth +16
Bacteria pose unique challenges for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) because of strong structuring into distinct strains and substantial linkage disequilibrium across the gen…
Rapid host switching in generalist Campylobacter strains erodes the signal for tracing human infections
Bethany L. Dearlove, Alison J. Cody, Ben Pascoe +3
Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are the biggest causes of bacterial gastroenteritis in the developed world, with human infections typically arising from zoonotic transm…
