We consider the problem of sequential multiple hypothesis testing with nontrivial data collection cost. This problem appears, for example, when conducting biological experiments to identify differentially expressed genes in a disease process. This work builds on the generalized $\alpha$-investing framework that enables control of the false discovery rate in a sequential testing setting. We...
Data-driven discoveries are permeating critical fabrics of society. However, unreliable discoveries lead to decisions that can have far-reaching and catastrophic consequences on society, defense, and to individuals. This makes the dependability of data-science lifecycles producing discoveries and decisions a critical issue that requires a new holistic view and formal foundations. Furthermore,...

Group testing is the study of pooling strategies that allow the identification of a small set of k defective items among a population of n using a small number of pooled tests. State-of-the-art testing schemes have shown that \Theta(k log n) schemes are both necessary and sufficient for the purpose which provides large gains when k is small (sublinear in n). However, these schemes are not...

This work proposes an integration of surrogate modeling and topology to significantly reduce the amount of data required to describe the underlying global dynamics of robot controllers, including closed-box ones. A Gaussian Process (GP), trained with randomized short trajectories over the state-space, acts as a surrogate model for the underlying dynamical system. Then, a combinatorial...

We study a Weiner process that is conditioned to pass through a finite set of points and consider the dynamics generated by iterating a sample path from this process. Using topological techniques we are able to characterize the global dynamics and deduce the existence, structure and approximate location of invariant sets. Most importantly, we compute the probability that this...
Distinguishing between global or macro patterns and local or micro fluctuations helps summarize the evolution of complex non-stationary dynamic systems. Herein, we focus on making distinctions between drift and shifts. Drift describes the micro-level evolution of a process. This may appear as variation about gradual trends. In contrast, shifts refer to discontinuities, rapid changes, or major...
The ultimate goal of our program is to provide interdisciplinary education and research opportunities in data and decisions science for undergraduate students who are experts in a core discipline of engineering or biology, but who are also proficient in the alternate discipline. We are training students with complementary disciplinary expertise that can address problems at the...

We have generalized the multiscale basis dictionaries (e.g., the Haar-Walsh wavelet packet dictionary and local cosine dictionary), which were developed for digital signals and images sampled on regular lattices and have a proven track record of success (e.g., audio/image compression, feature extraction, etc.), to for the graph setting. Our previous such basis dictionaries (e.g., Generalized...
