• Abstract: High-dimensional data with sparse structure and spatio-temporal dependence arise in many scientific domains. We develop a Bayesian feature-extraction framework for spatio-temporal settings that employs Gaussian and Diffused-gamma priors to induce structured sparsity. The modeling framework specifies a general likelihood via Bregman divergence, enabling compatibility with a range of loss functions and measurement models. Posterior computation is carried out via Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), and we introduce a two-stage feature-extraction procedure based on posterior samples to stabilize selection across space and time. We illustrate the method with a multi-subject electroencephalography (EEG) case study examining the relationship between chronic alcohol exposure and activity in different brain regions. We first fit binary classification models at each time point, then use false discovery rate-controlled screening and subsequent clustering in a two-stage feature-extraction pipeline to identify active brain regions. The analysis demonstrates that our proposed priors improve recovery of sparse features and enhance interpretability in the presence of spatio-temporal dependence. The framework is broadly applicable to high-dimensional, structured problems where accurate feature selection and inference are required. The code to implement the model is publicly available via GitHub.

In this paper, we introduce Sanonymous-Temporal Unitized Unitized Cell (ASTUC), a unified framework designed to capture both spatial and temporal dependencies.

  characterisation of the brain grey matter cytoarchitecture with quantitative sensitivity to soma density and volume remains an unsolved challenge in dMRI.

We then apply modern tools from Bayesian analysis known as likelihood-free inference (LFI) to invert our proposed model.

  Inferring the parameters of a model based on experimental observations is central to the scientific method. A particularly challenging setting is when the model is strongly indeterminate, i.e., when distinct sets of parameters yield identical observations. We present a method for cracking such indeterminacy by exploiting additional information conveyed by an auxiliary set of observations sharing global parameters.
