Uncertainty quantification for mixed membership in multilayer networks with degree heterogeneity using Gaussian variational inference

Fangzheng Xie, Hsin-Hsiung Huang

Analyzing multilayer networks is central to understanding complex relational measurements collected across multiple conditions or over time. A pivotal task in this setting is to qu…

SANVI: A Fast Spectral-Assisted Network Variational Inference Method with an Extended Surrogate Likelihood Function

Dingbo Wu, Fangzheng Xie

Bayesian inference has been broadly applied to statistical network analysis, but suffers from the expensive computational costs due to the nature of Markov chain Monte Carlo sampli…

Bayesian Sparse Gaussian Mixture Model in High Dimensions

Dapeng Yao, Fangzheng Xie, Yanxun Xu

We study the sparse high-dimensional Gaussian mixture model when the number of clusters is allowed to grow with the sample size. A minimax lower bound for parameter estimation is e…

Statistical inference of random graphs with a surrogate likelihood function

Dingbo Wu, Fangzheng Xie

Spectral estimators have been broadly applied to statistical network analysis, but they do not incorporate the likelihood information of the network sampling model. This paper prop…

An approximate Bayes factor based high dimensional MANOVA using Random Projections

Roger S Zoh, Fangzheng Xie

High-dimensional mean vector testing problem for two or more groups remain a very active research area. In these setting, traditional tests are not applicable because they involve…

Estimating the Penalty Level of -minimization via Two Gaussian Approximation Methods

Fang Xie

In this paper, we aim to give a theoretical approximation for the penalty level of -regularization problems. This can save much time in practice compared with the traditi…

Efficient Estimation for Random Dot Product Graphs via a One-step Procedure

Fangzheng Xie, Yanxun Xu

We propose a one-step procedure to estimate the latent positions in random dot product graphs efficiently. Unlike the classical spectral-based methods such as the adjacency and Lap…

Optimal Bayesian Estimation for Random Dot Product Graphs

Fangzheng Xie, Yanxun Xu

We propose a Bayesian approach, called the posterior spectral embedding, for estimating the latent positions in random dot product graphs, and prove its optimality. Unlike the clas…

BayCount: A Bayesian Decomposition Method for Inferring Tumor Heterogeneity using RNA-Seq Counts

Fangzheng Xie, Mingyuan Zhou, Yanxun Xu

Tumor is heterogeneous - a tumor sample usually consists of a set of subclones with distinct transcriptional profiles and potentially different degrees of aggressiveness and respon…
