Article Abstract

This article proposes a robust Bayesian inference approach for linear state-space models with nonstationary and heavy-tailed noise for robust state estimation. The predicted distribution is modeled as the hierarchical Student- t distribution, while the likelihood function is modified to the Student- t mixture distribution. By learning the corresponding parameters online, informative components of the Student- t mixture distribution are adapted to approximate the statistics of potential uncertainties. Then, the obstacle caused by the coupling of the updated parameters is eliminated by the variational Bayesian (VB) technique and fixed-point iterations. Discussions are provided to show the reasons for the achieved advantages analytically. Using the Newtonian tracking example and a three degree-of-freedom (DOF) hover system, we show that the proposed inference approach exhibits better performance compared with the existing method in the presence of modeling uncertainties and measurement outliers.

Although dynamical systems models are a powerful tool for analysing microbial ecosystems, challenges in learning these models from complex microbiome datasets and interpreting their outputs limit use. We introduce the Microbial Dynamical Systems Inference Engine 2 (MDSINE2), a Bayesian method that learns compact and interpretable ecosystems-scale dynamical systems models from microbiome timeseries data. Microbial dynamics are modelled as stochastic processes driven by interaction modules, or groups of microbes with similar interaction structure and responses to perturbations, and additionally, noise characteristics of data are modelled.

Summary: In Bayesian phylogenetic and phylodynamic studies it is common to summarise the posterior distribution of trees with a time-calibrated summary phylogeny. While the maximum clade credibility (MCC) tree is often used for this purpose, we here show that a novel summary tree method-the highest independent posterior subtree reconstruction, or HIPSTR-contains consistently higher supported clades over MCC. We also provide faster computational routines for estimating both summary trees in an updated version of TreeAnnotator X, an open-source software program that summarizes the information from a sample of trees and returns many helpful statistics such as individual clade credibilities contained in the summary tree.

Background: Labeo fimbriatus (Bloch, 1795) is a medium-sized South Asian minor carp with ecological significance and emerging aquaculture potential, particularly in polyculture systems with Indian major carps. Despite its wide distribution, it remains underrepresented in phylogenetic studies, and limited genomic resources are available. Here, we report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of L.

The Ancestral Recombination Graph (ARG), which describes the genealogical history of a sample of genomes, is a vital tool in population genomics and biomedical research. Recent advancements have substantially increased ARG reconstruction scalability, but they rely on approximations that can reduce accuracy, especially under model misspecification. Moreover, they reconstruct only a single ARG topology and cannot quantify the considerable uncertainty associated with ARG inferences.
