Incorporating biological prior knowledge for Bayesian learning via maximal knowledge-driven information priors

Incorporating biological prior knowledge for Bayesian learning via maximal knowledge-driven information priors

Abstract Background Phenotypic classification is problematic because small samples are ubiquitous; and, for these, use of prior knowledge is critical. If knowledge concerning the feature-label distribution – for instance, genetic pathways – is available, then it can be used in learning. Optimal Baye...
