Laplacian Eigenfunctions Learn Population Structure
Principal components analysis has been used for decades to summarize genetic variation across geographic regions and to infer population migration history. More recently, with the advent of genome-wide association studies of complex traits, it has become a commonly-used tool for detection and correction of confounding due to population structure. However, principal components are generally sens...
متن کاملGeometrical Structure of Laplacian Eigenfunctions
We review the properties of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator in bounded Euclidean domains with Dirichlet, Neumann or Robin boundary condition. We keep the presentation at a level accessible to scientists from various disciplines ranging from mathematics to physics and computer sciences. The main focus is put onto multiple intricate relations between the shape of a domain a...
متن کاملAncestral Informative Marker Selection and Population Structure Visualization Using Sparse Laplacian Eigenfunctions
Identification of a small panel of population structure informative markers can reduce genotyping cost and is useful in various applications, such as ancestry inference in association mapping, forensics and evolutionary theory in population genetics. Traditional methods to ascertain ancestral informative markers usually require the prior knowledge of individual ancestry and have difficulty for ...
متن کاملLocal Parametrizations via Laplacian Eigenfunctions
Eigenfunction methods for mapping high dimensional data sets into lower dimensional spaces are useful in a broad range of applications. In particular, a recent paper by Jones et al [2] shows that eigenfunctions of the Laplacian operator give a good local coordinate system under very general conditions. Here I outline the proof of the theorem and explore its use in cryo-electron microscopy.
متن کاملEigenvalues and Eigenfunctions of the Laplacian
The problem of determining the eigenvalues and eigenvectors for linear operators acting on finite dimensional vector spaces is a problem known to every student of linear algebra. This problem has a wide range of applications and is one of the main tools for dealing with such linear operators. Some of the results concerning these eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be extended to infinite dimension...
