Bayesian Inference With Incomplete Multinomial Data: A Problem in Pathogen Diversity
不完整多项数据的贝叶斯推断：病原体多样性问题
With recent advances in genetic analysis, it has become feasible to classify a pathogen into genetically distinct variants even though they apparently cause an infected subject similar symptoms. The availability of such data opens up the interesting problem of studying the spatiotemporal variation in the diversity of variants of a pathogen. Data on pathogen variants often suffer the problems of (i) low cell counts, (ii) incomplete classification due to laboratory problems…
