Improved data-driven likelihood factorizations for transcript abundance estimation
Motivation Many methods for transcript-level abundance estimation reduce the computational burden associated with the iterative algorithms they use by adopting an approximate factorization of the likelihood function they optimize. This leads to considerably faster convergence of the optimization procedure, since each round of e.g. the EM algorithm, can execute much more quickly. However, these ...
متن کاملFast Spatial Gaussian Process Maximum Likelihood Estimation via Skeletonization Factorizations
Maximum likelihood estimation for parameter-fitting given observations from a Gaussian process in space is a computationally-demanding task that restricts the use of such methods to moderately-sized datasets. We present a framework for unstructured observations in two spatial dimensions that allows for evaluation of the log-likelihood and its gradient (i.e., the score equations) in Õpn3{2q time...
متن کاملLikelihood robust optimization for data-driven problems
We consider optimal decision-making problems in an uncertain environment. In particular, we consider the case in which the distribution of the input is unknown, yet there is some historical data drawn from the distribution. In this paper, we propose a new type of distributionally robust optimization model called the likelihood robust optimization (LRO) model for this class of problems. In contr...

متن کاملImproved variational Bayes inference for transcript expression estimation.
RNA-seq studies allow for the quantification of transcript expression by aligning millions of short reads to a reference genome. However, transcripts share much of their sequence, so that many reads map to more than one place and their origin remains uncertain. This problem can be dealt using mixtures of distributions and transcript expression reduces to estimating the weights of the mixture. I...
