Consensus Tree Estimation with False Discovery Control via Partially Ordered Sets
Maria Alejandra Valdez Cabrera, Amy D Willis, Armeen Taeb
Trees are data objects that hierarchically organize categories. Collections of trees arise in a diverse variety of fields, including evolutionary biology, machine learning, social…
Nonparametric Identification and Estimation of Ratios of Multi-Category Means under Preferential Sampling
Grant Hopkins, Sarah Teichman, Ellen Graham +1
Multi-category data arise in diverse fields including marketing, chemistry, public policy, genomics, political science, and ecology. We consider the problem of estimating ratios of…
Geometry of the space of phylogenetic trees with non-identical leaves
Maria Alejandra Valdez Cabrera, Amy D Willis
Phylogenetic trees summarize evolutionary relationships. The Billera-Holmes-Vogtmann (BHV) space for comparing phylogenetic trees has many elegant mathematical properties, but it d…
Estimating Fold Changes from Partially Observed Outcomes with Applications in Microbial Metagenomics
David S Clausen, Sarah Teichman, Amy D Willis
We consider the problem of estimating fold-changes in the expected value of a multivariate outcome observed with unknown sample-specific and category-specific perturbations. This c…
