Cortical and subcortical changes in resting-state neuronal activity and connectivity in early symptomatic ALS and advanced frontotemporal dementia

The objective of this study was to examine if patterns of resting-state brain activity and functional connectivity in cortical and subcortical regions in patients with early symptomatic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) resemble those of behavioural vari ...

Multiple testing with test statistics following heavy-tailed distributions

Zhiwen Jiang

In multiple testing problems where the components come from a mixture model of noise and true effect, we seek to first test for the existence of the non-zero components, and then identify the true alternatives under a fixed significance level

Sampling strategy optimization to increase statistical power in landscape genomics: a simulation-based approach

Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni, Estelle Rochat, Elia Vajana, Annie Sandrine Guillaume

An increasing number of studies are using landscape genomics to investigate local adaptation in wild and domestic populations. The implementation of this approach requires the sampling phase to consider the complexity of environmental settings and the burd ...

Learning and Adaptive Data Analysis via Maximal Leakage

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Amedeo Roberto Esposito, Ibrahim Issa

There has been growing interest in studying connections between generalization error of learning algorithms and information measures. In this work, we generalize a result that employs the maximal leakage, a measure of leakage of information, and explore ho ...

Statistical inference in ensemble modeling of cellular metabolism

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Marc-Olivier Boldi, Tuure Eelis Hameri

Kinetic models of metabolism can be constructed to predict cellular regulation and devise metabolic engineering strategies, and various promising computational workflows have been developed in recent years for this. Due to the uncertainty in the kinetic pa ...

Shape-Constrained Uncertainty Quantification In Unfolding Steeply Falling Elementary Particle Spectra

Mikael Johan Kuusela

The high energy physics unfolding problem is an important statistical inverse problem in data analysis at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The goal of unfolding is to make nonparametric inferences about a particle spectrum from measurements smeared ...

Essentiality of mmpL3 and impact of its silencing on Mycobacterium tuberculosis gene expression

Stewart Cole, Andrej Benjak

MmpL3 is an inner membrane transporter of Mycobacterium tuberculosis responsible for the export of trehalose momomycolate, a precursor of the mycobacterial outer membrane component trehalose dimycolate (TDM), as well as mycolic acids bound to arabinogalact ...

Improved statistical evaluation of group differences in connectomes by screening-filtering strategy with application to study maturation of brain connections between childhood and adolescence

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Stephan Morgenthaler, David Paul Roger Romascano, Djalel Eddine Meskaldji, Patric Hagmann

Detecting local differences between groups of connectomes is a great challenge in neuroimaging, because the large number of tests that have to be performed and the impact on multiplicity correction. Any available information should be exploited to increase ...

Fourier Analysis of Functional Time Series, with Applications to DNA Dynamics

Shahin Tavakoli

This work is about time series of functional data (functional time series), and consists of three main parts. In the first part (Chapter 2), we develop a doubly spectral decomposition for functional time series that generalizes the Karhunen–Loève expansion ...

Statistical Analysis of Mountain Permafrost Temperatures

Evelyn Zenklusen Mutter

The consequences of climate change are clearly visible in the Swiss Alps. In the past decades, increasing air temperatures have induced pronounced glacier retreat and permafrost thawing. Thawing permafrost in steep terrain is a potential natural hazard, as ...

A comprehensive error rate for multiple testing

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Stephan Morgenthaler, Djalel Eddine Meskaldji

In multiple testing, a variety of control metrics have been introduced such as the family-wise error rate (FWER), the False Discovery Rate (FDR), False Exceedence Rate (FER), etc. We found a way to embed these metrics into a continuous family of control me ...

False Discovery Rate for Wavelet-Based Statistical Parametric Mapping

Michaël Unser, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville

Model-based statistical analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data relies on the general linear model and statistical hypothesis testing. Due to the large number of intracranial voxels, it is important to deal with the multiple compariso ...
