Genomic Prediction Using Canopy Coverage Image And Genotypic Information In Soybean Via A Hybrid Model, Reka Howard, Diego Jarquin
Genomic Prediction Using Canopy Coverage Image And Genotypic Information In Soybean Via A Hybrid Model, Reka Howard, Diego Jarquin
Department of Statistics: Faculty Publications
Prediction techniques are important in plant breeding as they provide a tool for selection that is more efficient and economical than traditional phenotypic and pedigree based selection. The conventional genomic prediction models include molecular marker information to predict the phenotype. With the development of new phenomics techniques we have the opportunity to collect image data on the plants, and extend the traditional genomic prediction models where we incorporate diverse set of information collected on the plants. In our research, we developed a hybrid matrix model that incorporates molecular marker and canopy coverage information as a weighted linear combination to predict …
A Bayes Interpretation Of Stacking For M-Complete And M-Open Settings, Tri Le, Bertrand S. Clarke
A Bayes Interpretation Of Stacking For M-Complete And M-Open Settings, Tri Le, Bertrand S. Clarke
Department of Statistics: Faculty Publications
In M-open problems where no true model can be conceptualized, it is common to back off from modeling and merely seek good prediction. Even in M-complete problems, taking a predictive approach can be very useful. Stacking is a model averaging procedure that gives a composite predictor by combining individual predictors from a list of models using weights that optimize a cross validation criterion. We show that the stacking weights also asymptotically minimize a posterior expected loss. Hence we formally provide a Bayesian justification for cross-validation. Often the weights are constrained to be positive and sum to one. For greater generality, …
Parametric And Nonparametric Statistical Methods For Genomic Selection Of Traits With Additive And Epistatic Genetic Architectures, Reka Howard, Alicia L. Carriquiry, William D. Beavis
Parametric And Nonparametric Statistical Methods For Genomic Selection Of Traits With Additive And Epistatic Genetic Architectures, Reka Howard, Alicia L. Carriquiry, William D. Beavis
Department of Statistics: Faculty Publications
Parametric and nonparametric methods have been developed for purposes of predicting phenotypes. These methods are based on retrospective analyses of empirical data consisting of genotypic and phenotypic scores. Recent reports have indicated that parametric methods are unable to predict phenotypes of traits with known epistatic genetic architectures. Herein, we review parametric methods including least squares regression, ridge regression, Bayesian ridge regression, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), Bayesian LASSO, best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP), Bayes A, Bayes B, Bayes C, and Bayes Cπ. We also review nonparametric methods including Nadaraya-Watson estimator, reproducing kernel Hilbert space, support vector machine regression, …
Prediction In M-Complete Problems With Limited Sample Size, Jennifer Lynn Clarke, Bertrand Clarke, Chi-Wai Yu
Prediction In M-Complete Problems With Limited Sample Size, Jennifer Lynn Clarke, Bertrand Clarke, Chi-Wai Yu

We define a new Bayesian predictor called the posterior weighted median (PWM) and compare its performance to several other predictors including the Bayes model average under squared error loss, the Barbieri-Berger median model predictor, the stacking predictor, and the model average predictor based on Akaike's information criterion. We argue that PWM generally gives better performance than other predictors over a range of M-complete problems. This range is between the M-closed-M-complete boundary and the M-complete- M-open boundary. Indeed, as a problem gets closer to M-open, it seems that M-complete predictive methods begin to break down. Our comparisons rest on extensive simulations …
Prediction In Several Conventional Contexts, Bertrand Clarke, Jennifer Clarke
Prediction In Several Conventional Contexts, Bertrand Clarke, Jennifer Clarke
Department of Statistics: Faculty Publications
We review predictive techniques from several traditional branches of statistics. Starting with prediction based on the normal model and on the empirical distribution function, we proceed to techniques for various forms of regression and classification. Then, we turn to time series, longitudinal data, and survival analysis. Our focus throughout is on the mechanics of prediction more than on the properties of predictors.
