A Statistical Framework for Co-Mediators of Zero-Inflated Single-Cell RNA-Seq Data
零膨胀单细胞 RNA 测序数据的共同中介统计框架
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has revolutionized the study of cellular heterogeneity, enabling detailed molecular profiling at the individual cell level. However, integrating high-dimensional single-cell data into causal mediation analysis remains challenging due to zero inflation and complex mediator structures. We propose a novel mediation framework leveraging zero-inflated negative binomial models to characterize cell-level mediator distributions and beta…
