Learning Summary Statistics for Bayesian Inference with Autoencoders [PDF]
For stochastic models with intractable likelihood functions, approximate Bayesian computation offers a way of approximating the true posterior through repeated comparisons of observations with simulated model outputs in terms of a small set of summary

The variant call format provides efficient and robust storage of GWAS summary statistics
GWAS summary statistics are fundamental for a variety of research applications yet no common storage format has been widely adopted. Existing tabular formats ambiguously or incompletely store information about genetic variants and associations, lack ...

Sharing GWAS summary statistics results in more citations
A review of citation rates from genomic studies in the GWAS Catalog suggests that sharing summary statistics results, on average, in ~81.8% more citations, highlighting a benefit of publicly sharing GWAS summary statistics.

PGS-Depot: a comprehensive resource for polygenic scores constructed by summary statistics based methods. [PDF]
Polygenic score (PGS) is an important tool for the genetic prediction of complex traits. However, there are currently no resources providing comprehensive PGSs computed from published summary statistics, and it is difficult to implement and run different

Workshop proceedings: GWAS summary statistics standards and sharing
Summary: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have enabled robust mapping of complex traits in humans. The open sharing of GWAS summary statistics (SumStats) is essential in facilitating the larger meta-analyses needed for increased power in resolving

Bayesian Genome-wide TWAS method to leverage both cis- and trans- eQTL information through summary statistics [PDF]
Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) have been widely used to integrate gene expression and genetic data for studying complex traits. Due to the computational burden, existing TWAS methods do not assess distant trans- expression quantitative ...

Summary statistics of learning link changing neural representations to behavior [PDF]
How can we make sense of large-scale recordings of neural activity across learning? Theories of neural network learning with their origins in statistical physics offer a potential answer: for a given task, there are often a small set of summary ...

Discovering non-additive heritability using additive GWAS summary statistics [PDF]
LD score regression (LDSC) is a method to estimate narrow-sense heritability from genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics alone, making it a fast and popular approach.
