1. Branching Out with Mixtures: Phylogenetic Inference That’s Not Afraid of a Little Uncertainty
University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistikAbstract : Phylogeny, the study of evolutionary relationships among species and other taxa, plays a crucial role in understanding the history of life. Bayesian analysis using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a widely used approach for inferring phylogenetic trees, but it suffers from slow convergence in higher dimensions and is slow to converge.

2. Capturing genes with high impact based on reconstruction errors produced by variational autoencoders
University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskapAbstract : In this work we present a novel method to extract potential hub genes, transcription factors and regions with densely interconnected protein-protein-interaction networks from RNAseq data. To achieve this we deploy variational autoencoders, a generative machine learning framework, and extract the gene-wise reconstruction errors. READ MORE

3. Causal Reinforcement Learning for Bandits with Unobserved Confounders
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologiAbstract : Reinforcement Learning (RL) has been recognized as a valuable tool in various fields. However, its application is limited by its reliance on extensive data through a trial-and-error approach and challenges in generalizing learned policies. READ MORE

4. Study of Automated Step Detection Methods and Dwell Time Analysis of Single-Molecule Data : Case of Study: The Turnover of Single Fluorescent ATP on The Active Site of Myosin
University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)Abstract : Single-molecule methods were developed with the objective to obtain kinetic information of biomolecular processes from a single biomolecule. This objective can be achieved by analyzing the binding events in recordings (“trajectories”) of single molecules (e.g., using fluorescence); the so-called dwell times. READ MORE

5. Copula Modelling of High-Dimensional Longitudinal Binary Response Data
University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)Abstract : This thesis treats the modelling of a high-dimensional data set of longitudinal binary responses. The data consists of default indicators from different nations around the world as well as some explanatory variables such as exposure to underlying assets. READ MORE
