The lady keeps tasting coffee: opening the doors to interactive experimental design and causal inference via betting and cooperation We revisit Fisher's classical randomized experiment from the early 1920s titled The Lady Tasting Tea. To recall, algologist Dr. Muriel Bristol was asked to taste 8 cups of milky tea, 4 made one way (milk first) and 4 made another (tea first). These were presented to Muriel without labels, Fisher conjecturing that…

Approximate Kernel Principal Component Analysis: Computational vs. Statistical Trade-off Kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) is a popular non-linear dimensionality reduction technique, which generalizes classical linear PCA by finding functions in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) such that the function evaluation at a random variable X has a maximum variance. Despite its popularity, kernel PCA suffers from poor scalability in big…

MAPS: Model-based analysis of long-range chromatin interactions from PLAC-seq and HiChIP Hi-C and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) have been combined to identify long-range chromatin interactions genome-wide at reduced cost and enhanced resolution, but extracting information from the resulting datasets has been challenging. Here we describe a computational method, MAPS, Model-based Analysis of PLAC-seq and HiChIP, to process the data from…
