In the examples we have seen inthe lectures on variant calling, these parameters might be theerror rate for reads, the proportion of a certain genotype, theproportion of nonreference bases etc. However, the hello worldexample for this sort of thing is the coin toss, so we will startwith NRobinsonEstimatingParametersfrom DataMaximumLikelihood(ML)EstimationBetad istributionMaximum aposteriori(MAP)EstimationMAQCoin tossLet s say we have two coins that are each tossed 10 timesCoin 1: H,T,T,H,H,H,T,H,T,TCoin 2: T,T,T,H,T,T,T,H,T,TIntuitively, we might guess that coin one is a fair coin, ,P(X=H) = , and that coin 2 is biased, ,P(X=H)6= NRobinsonEstimatingParametersfrom DataMaximumLikelihood(ML)EstimationBetad istributionMaximum aposteriori(MAP)EstimationMAQ
Estimation Peter N Robinson Estimating Parameters from Data Maximum Likelihood (ML) Estimation Beta distribution Maximum a posteriori (MAP) Estimation MAQ Discrete Random Variable Let us begin to formalize this. We model the coin toss process as follows. The outcome of a single coin toss is a random variable X that can take on values in a set X ...
