Predicting temperature curve based on fast kNN local linear estimation of the conditional distribution function.

ABSTRACT: Predicting the yearly curve of the temperature, based on meteorological data, is essential for understanding the impact of climate change on humans and the environment. The standard statistical models based on the big data discretization in the finite grid suffer from certain drawbacks such as dimensionality when the size of the data is large. We consider, in this paper, the predictive region problem in functional time series analysis. We study the prediction by the shortest conditional modal interval constructed by the local linear estimation of the cumulative function of Y given functional input variable X . More precisely, we combine the k -Nearest Neighbors procedure to the local linear algorithm to construct two estimators of the conditional distribution function. The main purpose of this paper is to compare, by a simulation study, the efficiency of the two estimators concerning the level of dependence. The feasibility of these estimators in the functional times series prediction is examined at the end of this paper. More precisely, we compare the shortest conditional modal interval predictive regions of both estimators using real meteorological data.

Doubly robust estimation of the local average treatment effect curve.

Project description:We consider estimation of the causal effect of a binary treatment on an outcome, conditionally on covariates, from observational studies or natural experiments in which there is a binary instrument for treatment. We describe a doubly robust, locally efficient estimator of the parameters indexing a model for the local average treatment effect conditionally on covariates V when randomization of the instrument is only true conditionally on a high dimensional vector of covariates X, possibly bigger than V. We discuss the surprising result that inference is identical to inference for the parameters of a model for an additive treatment effect on the treated conditionally on V that assumes no treatment-instrument interaction. We illustrate our methods with the estimation of the local average effect of participating in 401(k) retirement programs on savings by using data from the US Census Bureau's 1991 Survey of Income and Program Participation.

REHE: Fast variance components estimation for linear mixed models.

Project description:Linear mixed models are widely used in ecological and biological applications, especially in genetic studies. Reliable estimation of variance components is crucial for using linear mixed models. However, standard methods, such as the restricted maximum likelihood (REML), are computationally inefficient in large samples and may be unstable with small samples. Other commonly used methods, such as the Haseman-Elston (HE) regression, may yield negative estimates of variances. Utilizing regularized estimation strategies, we propose the restricted Haseman-Elston (REHE) regression and REHE with resampling (reREHE) estimators, along with an inference framework for REHE, as fast and robust alternatives that provide nonnegative estimates with comparable accuracy to REML. The merits of REHE are illustrated using real data and benchmark simulation studies.

From neurons to circuits: linear estimation of local field potentials.

Project description:Extracellular physiological recordings are typically separated into two frequency bands: local field potentials (LFPs) (a circuit property) and spiking multiunit activity (MUA). Recently, there has been increased interest in LFPs because of their correlation with functional magnetic resonance imaging blood oxygenation level-dependent measurements and the possibility of studying local processing and neuronal synchrony. To further understand the biophysical origin of LFPs, we asked whether it is possible to estimate their time course based on the spiking activity from the same electrode or nearby electrodes. We used "signal estimation theory" to show that a linear filter operation on the activity of one or a few neurons can explain a significant fraction of the LFP time course in the macaque monkey primary visual cortex. The linear filter used to estimate the LFPs had a stereotypical shape characterized by a sharp downstroke at negative time lags and a slower positive upstroke for positive time lags. The filter was similar across different neocortical regions and behavioral conditions, including spontaneous activity and visual stimulation. The estimations had a spatial resolution of approximately 1 mm and a temporal resolution of approximately 200 ms. By considering a causal filter, we observed a temporal asymmetry such that the positive time lags in the filter contributed more to the LFP estimation than the negative time lags. Additionally, we showed that spikes occurring within approximately 10 ms of spikes from nearby neurons yielded better estimation accuracies than nonsynchronous spikes. In summary, our results suggest that at least some circuit-level local properties of the field potentials can be predicted from the activity of one or a few neurons.

Fast Estimation of L1-Regularized Linear Models in the Mass-Univariate Setting.

Project description:In certain modeling approaches, activation analyses of task-based fMRI data can involve a relatively large number of predictors. For example, in the encoding model approach, complex stimuli are represented in a high-dimensional feature space, resulting in design matrices with many predictors. Similarly, single-trial models and finite impulse response models may also encompass a large number of predictors. In settings where only few of those predictors are expected to be informative, a sparse model fit can be obtained via L1-regularization. However, estimating L1-regularized models requires an iterative fitting procedure, which considerably increases computation time compared to estimating unregularized or L2-regularized models, and complicates the application of L1-regularization on whole-brain data and large sample sizes. Here we provide several functions for estimating L1-regularized models that are optimized for the mass-univariate analysis approach. The package includes a parallel implementation of the coordinate descent algorithm for CPU-only systems and two implementations of the alternating direction method of multipliers algorithm requiring a GPU device. While the core algorithms are implemented in C++/CUDA, data input/output and parameter settings can be conveniently handled via Matlab. The CPU-based implementation is highly memory-efficient and provides considerable speed-up compared to the standard implementation not optimized for the mass-univariate approach. Further acceleration can be achieved on systems equipped with a CUDA-enabled GPU. Using the fastest GPU-based implementation, computation time for whole-brain estimates can be reduced from 9 h to 5 min in an exemplary data setting. Overall, the provided package facilitates the use of L1-regularization for fMRI activation analyses and enables an efficient employment of L1-regularization on whole-brain data and large sample sizes.

Marginal and Conditional Distribution Estimation from Double-Sampled Semi-Competing Risks Data.

Project description:Informative dropout is a vexing problem for any biomedical study. Most existing statistical methods attempt to correct estimation bias related to this phenomenon by specifying unverifiable assumptions about the dropout mechanism. We consider a cohort study in Africa that uses an outreach program to ascertain the vital status for dropout subjects. These data can be used to identify a number of relevant distributions. However, as only a subset of dropout subjects were followed, vital status ascertainment was incomplete. We use semi-competing risk methods as our analysis framework to address this specific case where the terminal event is incompletely ascertained and consider various procedures for estimating the marginal distribution of dropout and the marginal and conditional distributions of survival. We also consider model selection and estimation efficiency in our setting. Performance of the proposed methods is demonstrated via simulations, asymptotic study, and analysis of the study data.

Fast light-field 3D microscopy with out-of-distribution detection and adaptation through Conditional Normalizing Flows.

Project description:Real-time 3D fluorescence microscopy is crucial for the spatiotemporal analysis of live organisms, such as neural activity monitoring. The eXtended field-of-view light field microscope (XLFM), also known as Fourier light field microscope, is a straightforward, single snapshot solution to achieve this. The XLFM acquires spatial-angular information in a single camera exposure. In a subsequent step, a 3D volume can be algorithmically reconstructed, making it exceptionally well-suited for real-time 3D acquisition and potential analysis. Unfortunately, traditional reconstruction methods (like deconvolution) require lengthy processing times (0.0220 Hz), hampering the speed advantages of the XLFM. Neural network architectures can overcome the speed constraints at the expense of lacking certainty metrics, which renders them untrustworthy for the biomedical realm. This work proposes a novel architecture to perform fast 3D reconstructions of live immobilized zebrafish neural activity based on a conditional normalizing flow. It reconstructs volumes at 8 Hz spanning 512 × 512 × 96 voxels, and it can be trained in under two hours due to the small dataset requirements (10 image-volume pairs). Furthermore, normalizing flows allow for exact Likelihood computation, enabling distribution monitoring, followed by out-of-distribution detection and retraining of the system when a novel sample is detected. We evaluate the proposed method on a cross-validation approach involving multiple in-distribution samples (genetically identical zebrafish) and various out-of-distribution ones.

Predicting non-linear dynamics by stable local learning in a recurrent spiking neural network.

Project description:The brain needs to predict how the body reacts to motor commands, but how a network of spiking neurons can learn non-linear body dynamics using local, online and stable learning rules is unclear. Here, we present a supervised learning scheme for the feedforward and recurrent connections in a network of heterogeneous spiking neurons. The error in the output is fed back through fixed random connections with a negative gain, causing the network to follow the desired dynamics. The rule for Feedback-based Online Local Learning Of Weights (FOLLOW) is local in the sense that weight changes depend on the presynaptic activity and the error signal projected onto the postsynaptic neuron. We provide examples of learning linear, non-linear and chaotic dynamics, as well as the dynamics of a two-link arm. Under reasonable approximations, we show, using the Lyapunov method, that FOLLOW learning is uniformly stable, with the error going to zero asymptotically.

Iterative Curve Fitting of the Bioheat Transfer Equation for Thermocouple-Based Temperature Estimation In Vitro and In Vivo.

Project description:Temperature measurements with thin thermocouples embedded in ultrasound fields are strongly subjected to a viscous heating artifact (VHA). The artifact contribution decays over time; therefore, it can be minimized at late temperature readings. However, previous studies have failed to demonstrate a rigorous method for determining the optimal time point at which the artifact contribution is negligible. In this study, we present an iterative processing method based on successive curve fittings using an artifact-independent model. The fitting starting point moves at each iteration until the maximum R2 indicates where the viscous heating is minimum. A solution of the bioheat transfer equation is used to account for blood perfusion, thus enabling in vivo measurements. Three T-type thermocouples with different diameters and sensitivities were assessed in an excised canine liver and in the mouse brain in vivo. We found that the artifact constitutes up to 81% ± 5% of wire thermocouple readings. The best-fit time varied in the liver samples ( n = 3 ) from 0 to 3.335 ± 0.979 s and in the mouse brain ( n = 5 ) from 0 to 0.498 ± 0.457 s at variable experimental conditions, which clearly demonstrates the need of the method for finding the appropriate starting time point of the fit. This study introduces a statistical method to determine the best time to fit a curve that can back-estimate temperature in tissues under ultrasound exposure using thermocouples. This method allows temperature evaluation in vivo and in vitro during a validation and safety assessment of a wide range of therapeutic and diagnostic ultrasound modalities.

A fast elitism Gaussian estimation of distribution algorithm and application for PID optimization.

Project description:Estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) is an intelligent optimization algorithm based on the probability statistics theory. A fast elitism Gaussian estimation of distribution algorithm (FEGEDA) is proposed in this paper. The Gaussian probability model is used to model the solution distribution. The parameters of Gaussian come from the statistical information of the best individuals by fast learning rule. A fast learning rule is used to enhance the efficiency of the algorithm, and an elitism strategy is used to maintain the convergent performance. The performances of the algorithm are examined based upon several benchmarks. In the simulations, a one-dimensional benchmark is used to visualize the optimization process and probability model learning process during the evolution, and several two-dimensional and higher dimensional benchmarks are used to testify the performance of FEGEDA. The experimental results indicate the capability of FEGEDA, especially in the higher dimensional problems, and the FEGEDA exhibits a better performance than some other algorithms and EDAs. Finally, FEGEDA is used in PID controller optimization of PMSM and compared with the classical-PID and GA.

Smooth ROC curve estimation via Bernstein polynomials.

Project description:The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is commonly used to evaluate the accuracy of a diagnostic test for classifying observations into two groups. We propose two novel tuning parameters for estimating the ROC curve via Bernstein polynomial smoothing of the empirical ROC curve. The new estimator is very easy to implement with the naturally selected tuning parameter, as illustrated by analyzing both real and simulated data sets. Empirical performance is investigated through extensive simulation studies with a variety of scenarios where the two groups are both from a single family of distributions (symmetric or right skewed) or one from a symmetric and the other from a right skewed distribution. The new estimator is uniformly more efficient than the empirical ROC estimator, and very competitive to eleven other existing smooth ROC estimators in terms of mean integrated square errors.
