As such groups are typically huge, tests based on the full group are often computationally infeasible. Hence, it is standard practice to use a random subset of transformations. We improve upon this by replacing the random subset with a strategically chosen, fixed subgroup of transformations. In a generalized location model, we show that the resulting tests are often consistent for lower signal-to-noise ratios. Moreover, we establish an analogy between the power improvement and switching from a t-test to a Z-test under normality. Importantly, in permutation-based multiple testing, the efficiency gain with our approach can be huge, since we attain the same power with much fewer permutations.","PeriodicalId":9001,"journal":{"name":"Biometrika","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48678941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One assumption that ensures identifiability is that confounding present at global scales dissipates at local scales. We show that this assumption in the spectral domain is equivalent to adjusting for global-scale confounding in the spatial domain by adding a spatially smoothed version of the exposure to the mean of the response variable. Within this general framework, we propose a sequence of confounder adjustment methods that range from parametric adjustments based on the Matérn coherence function to more robust semiparametric methods that use smoothing splines.

Medical imaging data differs from general images in two main aspects: i) the sample size is often considerably smaller, and ii) the interpretation of the model is usually more crucial than predicting the outcome. As a result, standard methods such as convolutional neural networks cannot be directly applied to medical imaging analysis. Therefore, we propose the Deep Kronecker Network, which can adapt to the low sample size constraint and offer the desired model interpretation. Our approach is versatile, as it works for both matrix and tensor represented image data and can be applied to discrete and continuous outcomes. The Deep Kronecker network is built upon a Kronecker product structure, which implicitly enforces a piecewise smooth property on coefficients. Moreover, our approach resembles a fully convolutional network as the Kronecker structure can be expressed in a convolutional form. Interestingly, our approach also has strong connections to the tensor regression framework proposed by Zhou et al. (2013), which imposes a canonical low-rank structure on tensor coefficients. We conduct both classification and regression analyses using real MRI data from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.","PeriodicalId":9001,"journal":{"name":"Biometrika","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135830829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In other words, the kernel interpolation generalizes poorly for a large class of kernels.

A common way to make use of auxiliary information is by weighting p-values. However, when the weights are learned from data, controlling the finite-sample false discovery rate becomes challenging, and most existing weighted procedures only guarantee false discovery rate control in an asymptotic limit. In a recent study conducted by Ignatiadis & Huber (2021), a novel τ-censored weighted Benjamini-Hochberg procedure was proposed to control the finite-sample false discovery rate. The authors employed the cross-weighting approach to learn weights for the p-values. This approach randomly splits the data into several folds and constructs a weight for each p-value Pi using the p-values outside the fold containing Pi. Cross-weighting does not exploit the p-value information inside the fold and only balances the weights within each fold, which may result in a loss of power. In this article, we introduce two methods for constructing data-driven weights for τ-censored weighted Benjamini-Hochberg procedures under independence. They provide new insight into masking p-values to prevent overfitting in multiple testing. The first method utilizes a leave-one-out technique, where all but one of the p-values are used to learn a weight for each p-value. This technique masks the information of a p-value in its weight by calculating the infimum of the weight with respect to the p-value. The second method uses partial information from each p-value to construct weights and utilizes the conditional distributions of the null p-values to establish false discovery rate control. Additionally, we propose two methods for estimating the null proportion and demonstrate how to integrate null-proportion adaptivity into the proposed weights to improve power.","PeriodicalId":9001,"journal":{"name":"Biometrika","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49253424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We establish the asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator under mild conditions on the sparsity level of the parameter and the data distribution.
