Causal Mediation Analysis for Time-varying Heritable Risk Factors with Mendelian Randomization

Understanding the causal pathogenic mechanisms of diseases is crucial in clinical research. When randomized controlled experiments are not available, Mendelian Randomization (MR) offers an alternative, leveraging genetic mutations as a natural …

Aggregating Dependent Signals with Heavy-Tailed Combination Tests

Combining dependent p-values to evaluate the global null hypothesis presents a longstanding challenge in statistical inference, particularly when aggregating results from diverse methods to boost signal detection. P-value combination tests using …

Joint Trajectory Inference for Single-cell Genomics Using Deep Learning with a Mixture Prior

Trajectory inference methods analyze thousands of cells from single-cell sequencing technologies and computationally infer their developmental trajectories. Though many tools have been developed for trajectory inference, most of them lack a coherent …

Robust Statistical Inference for Cell Type Deconvolution

Cell type deconvolution is a computational approach to infer proportions of individual cell types from bulk transcriptomics data. Though many new methods have been developed for cell type deconvolution, most of them only provide point estimation of …
