Robotic exploration has long captivated researchers aiming to map complex environments efficiently. Techniques such as potential fields and frontier exploration have traditionally been employed in this pursuit, primarily focusing on solitary agents. Recent advancements have shifted towards optimizing exploration efficiency through multiagent systems. However, many existing approaches overlook critical real-world factors, such as broadcast range limitations, communication costs, and coverage overlap. This paper addresses these gaps by proposing a distributed maze exploration strategy (CU-LVP) that assumes constrained broadcast ranges and utilizes Voronoi diagrams for better area partitioning. By adapting traditional multiagent methods to distributed environments with limited broadcast ranges, this study evaluates their performance across diverse maze topologies, demonstrating the efficacy and practical applicability of the proposed method. The code and experimental results supporting this study are available in the following repository: //github.com/manouslinard/multiagent-exploration/.

Differential abundance analysis is a key component of microbiome studies. While dozens of methods for it exist, currently, there is no consensus on the preferred methods. Correctness of results in differential abundance analysis is an ambiguous concept that cannot be evaluated without employing simulated data, but we argue that consistency of results across datasets should be considered as an essential quality of a well-performing method. We compared the performance of 14 differential abundance analysis methods employing datasets from 54 taxonomic profiling studies based on 16S rRNA gene or shotgun sequencing. For each method, we examined how the results replicated between random partitions of each dataset and between datasets from independent studies. While certain methods showed good consistency, some widely used methods were observed to produce a substantial number of conflicting findings. Overall, the highest consistency without unnecessary reduction in sensitivity was attained by analyzing relative abundances with a non-parametric method (Wilcoxon test or ordinal regression model) or linear regression (MaAsLin2). Comparable performance was also attained by analyzing presence/absence of taxa with logistic regression.

We present LinApart, a routine designed for efficiently performing the univariate partial fraction decomposition of large symbolic expressions. Our method is based on an explicit closed formula for the decomposition of rational functions with fully factorized denominators. We provide implementations in both the Wolfram Mathematica and C languages, made available at //github.com/fekeshazy/LinApart . The routine can provide very significant performance gains over available tools such as the Apart command in Mathematica.

Predicting the conditional evolution of Volterra processes with stochastic volatility is a crucial challenge in mathematical finance. While deep neural network models offer promise in approximating the conditional law of such processes, their effectiveness is hindered by the curse of dimensionality caused by the infinite dimensionality and non-smooth nature of these problems. To address this, we propose a two-step solution. Firstly, we develop a stable dimension reduction technique, projecting the law of a reasonably broad class of Volterra process onto a low-dimensional statistical manifold of non-positive sectional curvature. Next, we introduce a sequentially deep learning model tailored to the manifold's geometry, which we show can approximate the projected conditional law of the Volterra process. Our model leverages an auxiliary hypernetwork to dynamically update its internal parameters, allowing it to encode non-stationary dynamics of the Volterra process, and it can be interpreted as a gating mechanism in a mixture of expert models where each expert is specialized at a specific point in time. Our hypernetwork further allows us to achieve approximation rates that would seemingly only be possible with very large networks.

We introduce a method for computing immediately human interpretable yet accurate classifiers from tabular data. The classifiers obtained are short Boolean formulas, computed via first discretizing the original data and then using feature selection coupled with a very fast algorithm for producing the best possible Boolean classifier for the setting. We demonstrate the approach via 13 experiments, obtaining results with accuracies comparable to ones obtained via random forests, XGBoost, and existing results for the same datasets in the literature. In most cases, the accuracy of our method is in fact similar to that of the reference methods, even though the main objective of our study is the immediate interpretability of our classifiers. We also prove a new result on the probability that the classifier we obtain from real-life data corresponds to the ideally best classifier with respect to the background distribution the data comes from.

The problems of optimal recovering univariate functions and their derivatives are studied. To solve these problems, two variants of the truncation method are constructed, which are order-optimal both in the sense of accuracy and in terms of the amount of involved Galerkin information. For numerical summation, it has been established how the parameters characterizing the problem being solved affect its stability.

Statistical significance of both the original and the replication study is a commonly used criterion to assess replication attempts, also known as the two-trials rule in drug development. However, replication studies are sometimes conducted although the original study is non-significant, in which case Type-I error rate control across both studies is no longer guaranteed. We propose an alternative method to assess replicability using the sum of p-values from the two studies. The approach provides a combined p-value and can be calibrated to control the overall Type-I error rate at the same level as the two-trials rule but allows for replication success even if the original study is non-significant. The unweighted version requires a less restrictive level of significance at replication if the original study is already convincing which facilitates sample size reductions of up to 10%. Downweighting the original study accounts for possible bias and requires a more stringent significance level and larger samples sizes at replication. Data from four large-scale replication projects are used to illustrate and compare the proposed method with the two-trials rule, meta-analysis and Fisher's combination method.

Identifiability of statistical models is a key notion in unsupervised representation learning. Recent work of nonlinear independent component analysis (ICA) employs auxiliary data and has established identifiable conditions. This paper proposes a statistical model of two latent vectors with single auxiliary data generalizing nonlinear ICA, and establishes various identifiability conditions. Unlike previous work, the two latent vectors in the proposed model can have arbitrary dimensions, and this property enables us to reveal an insightful dimensionality relation among two latent vectors and auxiliary data in identifiability conditions. Furthermore, surprisingly, we prove that the indeterminacies of the proposed model has the same as \emph{linear} ICA under certain conditions: The elements in the latent vector can be recovered up to their permutation and scales. Next, we apply the identifiability theory to a statistical model for graph data. As a result, one of the identifiability conditions includes an appealing implication: Identifiability of the statistical model could depend on the maximum value of link weights in graph data. Then, we propose a practical method for identifiable graph embedding. Finally, we numerically demonstrate that the proposed method well-recovers the latent vectors and model identifiability clearly depends on the maximum value of link weights, which supports the implication of our theoretical results

In many statistical modeling problems, such as classification and regression, it is common to encounter sparse and blocky coefficients. Sparse fused Lasso is specifically designed to recover these sparse and blocky structured features, especially in cases where the design matrix has ultrahigh dimensions, meaning that the number of features significantly surpasses the number of samples. Quantile loss is a well-known robust loss function that is widely used in statistical modeling. In this paper, we propose a new sparse fused lasso classification model, and develop a unified multi-block linearized alternating direction method of multipliers algorithm that effectively selects sparse and blocky features for regression and classification. Our algorithm has been proven to converge with a derived linear convergence rate. Additionally, our algorithm has a significant advantage over existing methods for solving ultrahigh dimensional sparse fused Lasso regression and classification models due to its lower time complexity. Note that the algorithm can be easily extended to solve various existing fused Lasso models. Finally, we present numerical results for several synthetic and real-world examples, which demonstrate the robustness, scalability, and accuracy of the proposed classification model and algorithm

In the analysis of spatially resolved transcriptomics data, detecting spatially variable genes (SVGs) is crucial. Numerous computational methods exist, but varying SVG definitions and methodologies lead to incomparable results. We review 31 state-of-the-art methods, categorizing SVGs into three types: overall, cell-type-specific, and spatial-domain-marker SVGs. Our review explains the intuitions underlying these methods, summarizes their applications, and categorizes the hypothesis tests they use in the trade-off between generality and specificity for SVG detection. We discuss challenges in SVG detection and propose future directions for improvement. Our review offers insights for method developers and users, advocating for category-specific benchmarking.
