  text: "This thesis consists of four distinct pieces of work within theoretical biology,
    with two themes in common: the concept of optimization in biological systems,
    and the use of information-theoretic tools to quantify biological stochasticity
    and statistical uncertainty.\r\nChapter 2 develops a statistical framework for
    studying biological systems which we believe to be optimized for a particular
    utility function, such as retinal neurons conveying information about visual stimuli.
    We formalize such beliefs as maximum-entropy Bayesian priors, constrained by the
    expected utility. We explore how such priors aid inference of system parameters
    with limited data and enable optimality hypothesis testing: is the utility higher
    than by chance?\r\nChapter 3 examines the ultimate biological optimization process:
    evolution by natural selection. As some individuals survive and reproduce more
    successfully than others, populations evolve towards fitter genotypes and phenotypes.
    We formalize this as accumulation of genetic information, and use population genetics
    theory to study how much such information can be accumulated per generation and
    maintained in the face of random mutation and genetic drift. We identify the population
    size and fitness variance as the key quantities that control information accumulation
    and maintenance.\r\nChapter 4 reuses the concept of genetic information from Chapter
    3, but from a different perspective: we ask how much genetic information organisms
    actually need, in particular in the context of gene regulation. For example, how
    much information is needed to bind transcription factors at correct locations
    within the genome? Population genetics provides us with a refined answer: with
    an increasing population size, populations achieve higher fitness by maintaining
    more genetic information. Moreover, regulatory parameters experience selection
    pressure to optimize the fitness-information trade-off, i.e. minimize the information
    needed for a given fitness. This provides an evolutionary derivation of the optimization
    priors introduced in Chapter 2.\r\nChapter 5 proves an upper bound on mutual information
    between a signal and a communication channel output (such as neural activity).
    Mutual information is an important utility measure for biological systems, but
    its practical use can be difficult due to the large dimensionality of many biological
    channels. Sometimes, a lower bound on mutual information is computed by replacing
    the high-dimensional channel outputs with decodes (signal estimates). Our result
    provides a corresponding upper bound, provided that the decodes are the maximum
    posterior estimates of the signal."

  text: 'Selection accumulates information in the genome—it guides stochastically
    evolving populations toward states (genotype frequencies) that would be unlikely
    under neutrality. This can be quantified as the Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence
    between the actual distribution of genotype frequencies and the corresponding
    neutral distribution. First, we show that this population-level information sets
    an upper bound on the information at the level of genotype and phenotype, limiting
    how precisely they can be specified by selection. Next, we study how the accumulation
    and maintenance of information is limited by the cost of selection, measured as
    the genetic load or the relative fitness variance, both of which we connect to
    the control-theoretic KL cost of control. The information accumulation rate is
    upper bounded by the population size times the cost of selection. This bound is
    very general, and applies across models (Wright–Fisher, Moran, diffusion) and
    to arbitrary forms of selection, mutation, and recombination. Finally, the cost
    of maintaining information depends on how it is encoded: Specifying a single allele
    out of two is expensive, but one bit encoded among many weakly specified loci
    (as in a polygenic trait) is cheap.'

  text: Normative theories and statistical inference provide complementary approaches
    for the study of biological systems. A normative theory postulates that organisms
    have adapted to efficiently solve essential tasks, and proceeds to mathematically
    work out testable consequences of such optimality; parameters that maximize the
    hypothesized organismal function can be derived ab initio, without reference to
    experimental data. In contrast, statistical inference focuses on efficient utilization
    of data to learn model parameters, without reference to any a priori notion of
    biological function, utility, or fitness. Traditionally, these two approaches
    were developed independently and applied separately. Here we unify them in a coherent
    Bayesian framework that embeds a normative theory into a family of maximum-entropy
    “optimization priors.” This family defines a smooth interpolation between a data-rich
    inference regime (characteristic of “bottom-up” statistical models), and a data-limited
    ab inito prediction regime (characteristic of “top-down” normative theory). We
    demonstrate the applicability of our framework using data from the visual cortex,
    and argue that the flexibility it affords is essential to address a number of
    fundamental challenges relating to inference and prediction in complex, high-dimensional
    biological problems.

  text: "Aims: Mass antigen testing programs have been challenged because of an alleged
    insufficient specificity, leading to a large number of false positives. The objective
    of this study is to derive a lower bound of the specificity of the SD Biosensor
    Standard Q Ag-Test in large scale practical use.\r\nMethods: Based on county data
    from the nationwide tests for SARS-CoV-2 in Slovakia between 31.10.–1.11. 2020
    we calculate a lower confidence bound for the specificity. As positive test results
    were not systematically verified by PCR tests, we base the lower bound on a worst
    case assumption, assuming all positives to be false positives.\r\nResults: 3,625,332
    persons from 79 counties were tested. The lowest positivity rate was observed
    in the county of Rožňava where 100 out of 34307 (0.29%) tests were positive. This
    implies a test specificity of at least 99.6% (97.5% one-sided lower confidence
    bound, adjusted for multiplicity).\r\nConclusion: The obtained lower bound suggests
    a higher specificity compared to earlier studies in spite of the underlying worst
    case assumption and the application in a mass testing setting. The actual specificity
    is expected to exceed 99.6% if the prevalence in the respective regions was non-negligible
    at the time of testing. To our knowledge, this estimate constitutes the first
    bound obtained from large scale practical use of an antigen test."

  text: We derive a tight lower bound on equivocation (conditional entropy), or equivalently
    a tight upper bound on mutual information between a signal variable and channel
    outputs. The bound is in terms of the joint distribution of the signals and maximum
    a posteriori decodes (most probable signals given channel output). As part of
    our derivation, we describe the key properties of the distribution of signals,
    channel outputs and decodes, that minimizes equivocation and maximizes mutual
    information. This work addresses a problem in data analysis, where mutual information
    between signals and decodes is sometimes used to lower bound the mutual information
    between signals and channel outputs. Our result provides a corresponding upper
    bound.
