LetX(t), – ∞ <t< ∞, be a stationary time series with meancx. Let 0 <τ1<τ2 < … <τN≦Tdenote A given sampling times in the interval (0,T]. We determine the asymptotic distribution of the estimate [X(τ1) + … +X(τN)]/Nofcxwhen the sampling times are fixed, satisfying a form of generalised harmonic analysis requirement, and when the sampling times are the times of events of a stationary point process independent of the seriesX(t). The results obtained may be viewed as non-standard central limit theorems.

Abstract Hi-C experiments have become very popular for studying the 3D genome structure in recent years. Identification of long-range chromosomal interaction, i.e., peak detection, is crucial for Hi-C data analysis. But it remains a challenging task due to the inherent high dimensionality, sparsity and the over-dispersion of the Hi-C count data matrix. We propose EBHiC, an empirical Bayes approach for peak detection from Hi-C data. The proposed framework provides flexible over-dispersion modeling by explicitly including the “true” interaction intensities as latent variables. To implement the proposed peak identification method (via the empirical Bayes test), we estimate the overall distributions of the observed counts semiparametrically using a Smoothed Expectation Maximization algorithm, and the empirical null based on the zero assumption. We conducted extensive simulations to validate and evaluate the performance of our proposed approach and applied it to real datasets. Our results suggest that EBHiC can identify better peaks in terms of accuracy, biological interpretability, and the consistency across biological replicates.
