msBayes: Pipeline for testing comparative phylogeographic histories using hierarchical approximate Bayesian computation
Background: Although testing for simultaneous divergence (vicariance) across different population-pairs that span the same barrier to gene flow is of central importance to evoluti...

Natural Conjugate Gradient in Variational Inference
Variational methods for approximate inference in machine learning often adapt a parametric probability distribution to optimize a given objective function. This view is especially ...

Efficient Multivariate Skellam Shrinkage For Denoising Photon-limited Image Data: An Empirical Bayes Approach
In this article we address the issue of denoising photon-limited image data by deriving new and efficient multivariate Bayesian estimators that approximate the conditional expecta...

Tetrolet shrinkage with anisotropic total variation minimization for image approximation
In this paper, an anisotropic total variation (ATV) minimization is combined with the new adaptive tetrolet transform for discontinuity-preserving image processing. In order to su...
