The Gaussian process (GP) is a nonparametric prior distribution over functions indexed by time, space, or other high-dimensional index set. The GP is a flexible model yet its limitation is given by its very nature: it can only model Gaussian marginal...
Despite the importance of sperm DNA to human reproduction, currently no method exists to assess individual sperm DNA quality prior to clinical selection. Traditionally, skilled clinicians select sperm based on a variety of morphological and motility ...
