Designing a Data Science simulation with MERITS: A Primer
Corrine F Elliott, James PC Duncan, Tiffany M Tang +3
Simulations play a crucial role in the modern scientific process. Yet despite (or due to) this ubiquity, the Data Science community shares neither a comprehensive definition for a…
Curating a COVID-19 data repository and forecasting county-level death counts in the United States
Nick Altieri, Rebecca L. Barter, James Duncan +11
As the COVID-19 outbreak evolves, accurate forecasting continues to play an extremely important role in informing policy decisions. In this paper, we present our continuous curatio…
A Debiased MDI Feature Importance Measure for Random Forests
Xiao Li, Yu Wang, Sumanta Basu +2
Tree ensembles such as Random Forests have achieved impressive empirical success across a wide variety of applications. To understand how these models make predictions, people rout…
Interpretable machine learning: definitions, methods, and applications
W. James Murdoch, Chandan Singh, Karl Kumbier +2
Machine-learning models have demonstrated great success in learning complex patterns that enable them to make predictions about unobserved data. In addition to using models for pre…
Signed iterative random forests to identify enhancer-associated transcription factor binding
Karl Kumbier, Sumanta Basu, Erwin Frise +4
Standard ChIP-seq peak calling pipelines seek to differentiate biochemically reproducible signals of individual genomic elements from background noise. However, reproducibility alo…
Artificial Intelligence and Statistics
Bin Yu, Karl Kumbier
Artificial intelligence (AI) is intrinsically data-driven. It calls for the application of statistical concepts through human-machine collaboration during generation of data, devel…
Iterative Random Forests to detect predictive and stable high-order interactions
Sumanta Basu, Karl Kumbier, James B. Brown +1
Genomics has revolutionized biology, enabling the interrogation of whole transcriptomes, genome-wide binding sites for proteins, and many other molecular processes. However, indivi…
