Bayesian inference for intra-tumor heterogeneity in mutations and copy number variation Tissue samples from the same tumor are heterogeneous. They consist of different subclones that can be characterized by differences in DNA nucleotide sequences and copy numbers on multiple loci. Inference on tumor heterogeneity thus involves the identification of the subclonal copy number and single…

Relative exchangeability Symmetry arguments lie at the heart of classical considerations in inductive inference and statistics. In statistics, de Finetti's notion of exchangeability is the most prominent symmetry assumption, laying the foundation for Bayesian inference. In practice, many statistical and scientific problems exhibit only partial symmetry determined by some underlying structure in a population. As…

"Reservation wages and the wage flexibility puzzle" Abstract Wages are only mildly cyclical, implying that shocks to labour demand have a larger short-run impact on unemployment rather than wages, at odds with the quantitative predictions of the canonical search and matching model. This paper provides an alternative and informative perspective on the wage flexibility puzzle,…
