In an increasing number of applications, it is interest to recover approximately low-rank data matrix from noisy observations. This paper develops unbiased risk estimate---holding in a Gaussian model---for any spectral estimator obeying some mild regularity assumptions. particular, we give estimate formula for singular value thresholding (SVT), popular estimation strategy which applies soft-thresholding rule the values Among other things, our formulas offer principled and automated way...
In compressed sensing, one takes samples of an N -dimensional vector using matrix A , obtaining undersampled measurements . For random matrices with independent standard Gaussian entries, it is known that, when k -sparse, there a precisely determined phase transition: for certain region in the ( )-phase diagram, convex optimization typically finds sparsest solution, whereas outside that region, fails. It has been shown empirically same property—with transition location—holds wide range...
Purpose Quantitative T 1 , 2 *, and fat fraction (FF) maps are promising imaging biomarkers for the assessment of liver disease, however these usually acquired in sequential scans. Here we propose an extended MR fingerprinting (MRF) framework enabling simultaneous FF mapping from a single ~14 s breath‐hold scan. Methods A gradient echo (GRE) MRF sequence with nine readouts per TR, low flip angles (5‐15°), varying magnetisation preparation golden angle radial trajectory is at 1.5T to encode...
Resolving the details of an object from coarse-scale measurements is a classical problem in applied mathematics. This usually formulated as extrapolating Fourier transform bounded region to entire space, that is, terms performing extrapolation frequency. ill-posed unless one assumes has some additional structure. When compactly supported, then it well-known its can be extended space. However, also this severely ill-conditioned. In work, we assume known belong collection supported functions...
Estimation of cardiovascular model parameters from electronic health records (EHRs) poses a significant challenge primarily due to lack identifiability. Structural non-identifiability arises when manifold in the space is mapped common output, while practical can result limited data, misspecification or noise corruption. To address resulting ill-posed inverse problem, optimization-based Bayesian inference approaches typically use regularization, thereby limiting possibility discovering...

We propose a novel statistical learning framework for automatically and efficiently building reduced kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) models of large-scale elementary reaction networks from data generated by single or few molecular dynamics simulations (MD).
Abstract Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the leading cause of chronic worldwide. Liver biopsy remains gold standard for diagnosis and staging disease. There a clinical need noninvasive diagnostic tools risk stratification, follow‐up, monitoring treatment response that are currently lacking, as well preclinical models recapitulate etiology human condition. We have characterized progression NAFLD in eNOS −/− mice fed high fat diet (HFD) using Dixon‐based magnetic resonance imaging...
Abstract The classic paradigm for MRI requires a homogeneous B 0 field in combination with linear encoding gradients. Distortions are produced when the is not homogeneous, and several postprocessing techniques have been developed to correct them. Field homogeneity difficult achieve, particularly short‐bore magnets higher fields. Nonlinear magnetic components can also arise from concomitant fields, low‐field imaging, or intentionally used nonlinear encoding. In any of these situations,...
Structured illumination microscopies achieve optical sectioning via differential modulation of in-focus and out-of-focus contributions to an image. Multiple wide-field camera images are analyzed recreate section. The requirement for multiple frames per image entails a loss temporal resolution compared conventional imaging. Here we describe computational structured imaging scheme, compressed Hadamard imaging, which achieves simultaneously high spatial 3D samples with low-rank dynamics (e.g....
Advances in solid-state technology have enabled the development of silicon photomultiplier sensor arrays capable sensing individual photons. Combined with high-frequency time-to-digital converters (TDCs), this opens up prospect sensors recording high accuracy both time and location each detected photon. Such a capability could lead to significant improvements imaging accuracy, especially for applications operating low photon fluxes such as light detection ranging positron-emission...
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of complex chemistry typically involves thousands atoms propagating over millions time steps, generating a wealth data. Traditionally these data are used to calculate some aggregate properties the system and then discarded, but we propose that can be reused study related chemical systems. Using approximate kinetic models methods from statistical learning, hydrocarbon chemistries under extreme thermodynamic conditions. We discover single MD contain...
Large-scale nonlinear dynamical systems, such as models of atmospheric hydrodynamics, chemical reaction networks, and electronic circuits, often involve thousands or more interacting components.

Level set-based algorithms have been extensively used for medical image segmentation. Despite their relative success, standard level set segmentations tend to fail when images are severely corrupted or in poorly defined regions. This problem has tackled incorporating shape prior knowledge, i.e. restricting the evolving curve a distribution of shapes pre-defined during training process. Such restriction needs incorporate invariance translation, rotations and scaling. The common approach this...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is routinely used to study the properties of matter. Therefore, different materials can be classified according their NMR spectra. However, spectra cannot observed directly, and only signal, which a sum complex exponentials, directly observable in practice. A popular approach recover spectrum perform harmonic retrieval, i.e., reconstruct exactly from signal. even when this fails, might still accurately. In work, we model as an atomic measure...
