biMM: efficient estimation of genetic variances and covariances for cohorts with high-dimensional phenotype measurements
Summary Genetic research utilizes a decomposition of trait variances and covariances into genetic and environmental parts. Our software package biMM is a computationally efficient implementation of a bivariate linear mixed model for settings where hundreds of traits have been measured on partially overlapping sets of individuals. Availability and Implementation Implementation in R freely avai...
متن کاملGeometric methods for estimation of structured covariances
We consider problems of estimation of structured covariance matrices, and in particular of matrices with a Toeplitz structure. We follow a geometric viewpoint that is based on some suitable notion of distance. To this end, we overview and compare several alternatives metrics and divergence measures. We advocate a specific one which represents the Wasserstein distance between the corresponding G...
متن کاملMildly Penalized Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Genetic Covariances Matrices without Tuning
INTRODUCTION Estimates of genetic covariance matrices, ΣG, are known to be afflicted by substantial sampling errors, increasing markedly with the number of traits considered. ‘Regularization’, i.e. modification of estimators to reduce sampling variation at the expense of a small, additional bias, has been advocated to obtain estimates closer to the population values. An early suggestion by Haye...
متن کاملEstimation of means and covariances of inverse-Gaussian order statistics
We propose a simulation algorithm to estimate means, variances, and covariances for a set of order statistics from inverse-Gaussian (IG) distributions. Given a set of Monte Carlo data, the algorithm estimates these values simultaneously. Two types of control variates are used: internal uniform and external exponential. Simulation results show that exponential control variates work better, best ...
متن کاملMaximum-likelihood estimation of complex sinusoids and Toeplitz covariances
|In an extension of previous methods for maximum-likelihood (ML) Toeplitz covariance estimation, new iterative algorithms for computing joint ML estimates of complex sinusoids in unknown stationary Gaussian noise are proposed. The number of sinusoids is assumed known, but their frequencies and amplitudes are not. The iterative algorithm, an adaptation of the expectation-maximization (EM) techni...
