Fast Bayesian Inference of Copy Number Variants using Hidden Markov Models with Wavelet Compression.

By integrating Haar wavelets with Hidden Markov Models, we achieve drastically reduced running times for Bayesian inference using Forward-Backward Gibbs sampling. We show that this improves detection of genomic copy number variants (CNV) in array CGH experiments compared to the state-of-the-art, inc...
