The Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics (SINDy) algorithm can be applied to stochastic differential equations to estimate the drift and the diffusion function using data from a realization of the SDE. The SINDy algorithm requires sample data from each of these functions, which is typically estimated numerically from the data of the state. We analyze the performance of the previously proposed estimates for the drift and diffusion function to give bounds on the error for finite data. However, since this algorithm only converges as both the sampling frequency and the length of trajectory go to infinity, obtaining approximations within a certain tolerance may be infeasible. To combat this, we develop estimates with higher orders of accuracy for use in the SINDy framework. For a given sampling frequency, these estimates give more accurate approximations of the drift and diffusion functions, making SINDy a far more feasible system identification method.

Robust feature selection is vital for creating reliable and interpretable Machine Learning (ML) models. When designing statistical prediction models in cases where domain knowledge is limited and underlying interactions are unknown, choosing the optimal set of features is often difficult. To mitigate this issue, we introduce a Multidata (M) causal feature selection approach that simultaneously processes an ensemble of time series datasets and produces a single set of causal drivers. This approach uses the causal discovery algorithms PC1 or PCMCI that are implemented in the Tigramite Python package. These algorithms utilize conditional independence tests to infer parts of the causal graph. Our causal feature selection approach filters out causally-spurious links before passing the remaining causal features as inputs to ML models (Multiple linear regression, Random Forest) that predict the targets. We apply our framework to the statistical intensity prediction of Western Pacific Tropical Cyclones (TC), for which it is often difficult to accurately choose drivers and their dimensionality reduction (time lags, vertical levels, and area-averaging). Using more stringent significance thresholds in the conditional independence tests helps eliminate spurious causal relationships, thus helping the ML model generalize better to unseen TC cases. M-PC1 with a reduced number of features outperforms M-PCMCI, non-causal ML, and other feature selection methods (lagged correlation, random), even slightly outperforming feature selection based on eXplainable Artificial Intelligence. The optimal causal drivers obtained from our causal feature selection help improve our understanding of underlying relationships and suggest new potential drivers of TC intensification.

The Gaussian graphical model (GGM) incorporates an undirected graph to represent the conditional dependence between variables, with the precision matrix encoding partial correlation between pair of variables given the others. To achieve flexible and accurate estimation and inference of GGM, we propose the novel method FLAG, which utilizes the random effects model for pairwise conditional regression to estimate the precision matrix and applies statistical tests to recover the graph. Compared with existing methods, FLAG has several unique advantages: (i) it provides accurate estimation without sparsity assumptions on the precision matrix, (ii) it allows for element-wise inference of the precision matrix, (iii) it achieves computational efficiency by developing an efficient PX-EM algorithm and a MM algorithm accelerated with low-rank updates, and (iv) it enables joint estimation of multiple graphs using FLAG-Meta or FLAG-CA. The proposed methods are evaluated using various simulation settings and real data applications, including gene expression in the human brain, term association in university websites, and stock prices in the U.S. financial market. The results demonstrate that FLAG and its extensions provide accurate precision estimation and graph recovery.

In this paper, numerical methods based on Vieta-Lucas wavelets are proposed for solving a class of singular differential equations. The operational matrix of the derivative for Vieta-Lucas wavelets is derived. It is employed to reduce the differential equations into the system of algebraic equations by applying the ideas of the collocation scheme, Tau scheme, and Galerkin scheme respectively. Furthermore, the convergence analysis and error estimates for Vieta-Lucas wavelets are performed. In the numerical section, the comparative analysis is presented among the different versions of the proposed Vieta-Lucas wavelet methods, and the accuracy of the approaches is evaluated by computing the errors and comparing them to the existing findings.

We investigate the problem of joint statistical estimation of several parameters for a stochastic differential equations driven by an additive fractional Brownian motion. Based on discrete-time observations of the model, we construct an estimator of the Hurst parameter, the diffusion parameter and the drift, which lies in a parametrised family of coercive drift coefficients. Our procedure is based on the assumption that the stationary distribution of the SDE and of its increments permits to identify the parameters of the model. Under this assumption, we prove consistency results and derive a rate of convergence for the estimator. Finally, we show that the identifiability assumption is satisfied in the case of a family of fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes and illustrate our results with some numerical experiments.

Mobile digital health (mHealth) studies often collect multiple within-day self-reported assessments of participants' behaviour and health. Indexed by time of day, these assessments can be treated as functional observations of continuous, truncated, ordinal, and binary type. We develop covariance estimation and principal component analysis for mixed-type functional data like that. We propose a semiparametric Gaussian copula model that assumes a generalized latent non-paranormal process generating observed mixed-type functional data and defining temporal dependence via a latent covariance. The smooth estimate of latent covariance is constructed via Kendall's Tau bridging method that incorporates smoothness within the bridging step. The approach is then extended with methods for handling both dense and sparse sampling designs, calculating subject-specific latent representations of observed data, latent principal components and principal component scores. Importantly, the proposed framework handles all four mixed types in a unified way. Simulation studies show a competitive performance of the proposed method under both dense and sparse sampling designs. The method is applied to data from 497 participants of National Institute of Mental Health Family Study of the Mood Disorder Spectrum to characterize the differences in within-day temporal patterns of mood in individuals with the major mood disorder subtypes including Major Depressive Disorder, and Type 1 and 2 Bipolar Disorder.

Causal discovery and causal reasoning are classically treated as separate and consecutive tasks: one first infers the causal graph, and then uses it to estimate causal effects of interventions. However, such a two-stage approach is uneconomical, especially in terms of actively collected interventional data, since the causal query of interest may not require a fully-specified causal model. From a Bayesian perspective, it is also unnatural, since a causal query (e.g., the causal graph or some causal effect) can be viewed as a latent quantity subject to posterior inference -- other unobserved quantities that are not of direct interest (e.g., the full causal model) ought to be marginalized out in this process and contribute to our epistemic uncertainty. In this work, we propose Active Bayesian Causal Inference (ABCI), a fully-Bayesian active learning framework for integrated causal discovery and reasoning, which jointly infers a posterior over causal models and queries of interest. In our approach to ABCI, we focus on the class of causally-sufficient, nonlinear additive noise models, which we model using Gaussian processes. We sequentially design experiments that are maximally informative about our target causal query, collect the corresponding interventional data, and update our beliefs to choose the next experiment. Through simulations, we demonstrate that our approach is more data-efficient than several baselines that only focus on learning the full causal graph. This allows us to accurately learn downstream causal queries from fewer samples while providing well-calibrated uncertainty estimates for the quantities of interest.

Over the past few years, the rapid development of deep learning technologies for computer vision has greatly promoted the performance of medical image segmentation (MedISeg). However, the recent MedISeg publications usually focus on presentations of the major contributions (e.g., network architectures, training strategies, and loss functions) while unwittingly ignoring some marginal implementation details (also known as "tricks"), leading to a potential problem of the unfair experimental result comparisons. In this paper, we collect a series of MedISeg tricks for different model implementation phases (i.e., pre-training model, data pre-processing, data augmentation, model implementation, model inference, and result post-processing), and experimentally explore the effectiveness of these tricks on the consistent baseline models. Compared to paper-driven surveys that only blandly focus on the advantages and limitation analyses of segmentation models, our work provides a large number of solid experiments and is more technically operable. With the extensive experimental results on both the representative 2D and 3D medical image datasets, we explicitly clarify the effect of these tricks. Moreover, based on the surveyed tricks, we also open-sourced a strong MedISeg repository, where each of its components has the advantage of plug-and-play. We believe that this milestone work not only completes a comprehensive and complementary survey of the state-of-the-art MedISeg approaches, but also offers a practical guide for addressing the future medical image processing challenges including but not limited to small dataset learning, class imbalance learning, multi-modality learning, and domain adaptation. The code has been released at: //github.com/hust-linyi/MedISeg

We consider the problem of discovering $K$ related Gaussian directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), where the involved graph structures share a consistent causal order and sparse unions of supports. Under the multi-task learning setting, we propose a $l_1/l_2$-regularized maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) for learning $K$ linear structural equation models. We theoretically show that the joint estimator, by leveraging data across related tasks, can achieve a better sample complexity for recovering the causal order (or topological order) than separate estimations. Moreover, the joint estimator is able to recover non-identifiable DAGs, by estimating them together with some identifiable DAGs. Lastly, our analysis also shows the consistency of union support recovery of the structures. To allow practical implementation, we design a continuous optimization problem whose optimizer is the same as the joint estimator and can be approximated efficiently by an iterative algorithm. We validate the theoretical analysis and the effectiveness of the joint estimator in experiments.

In order to overcome the expressive limitations of graph neural networks (GNNs), we propose the first method that exploits vector flows over graphs to develop globally consistent directional and asymmetric aggregation functions. We show that our directional graph networks (DGNs) generalize convolutional neural networks (CNNs) when applied on a grid. Whereas recent theoretical works focus on understanding local neighbourhoods, local structures and local isomorphism with no global information flow, our novel theoretical framework allows directional convolutional kernels in any graph. First, by defining a vector field in the graph, we develop a method of applying directional derivatives and smoothing by projecting node-specific messages into the field. Then we propose the use of the Laplacian eigenvectors as such vector field, and we show that the method generalizes CNNs on an n-dimensional grid, and is provably more discriminative than standard GNNs regarding the Weisfeiler-Lehman 1-WL test. Finally, we bring the power of CNN data augmentation to graphs by providing a means of doing reflection, rotation and distortion on the underlying directional field. We evaluate our method on different standard benchmarks and see a relative error reduction of 8\% on the CIFAR10 graph dataset and 11% to 32% on the molecular ZINC dataset. An important outcome of this work is that it enables to translate any physical or biological problems with intrinsic directional axes into a graph network formalism with an embedded directional field.
