- Locally adaptive conformal prediction intervals for polygenic score-based phenotype prediction via residual normalization and data-driven stratification
Quantifying uncertainty in polygenic score (PGS)-based phenotype prediction is crucial for the integration of genomic data into precision medicine. While the PGS provides a fundamental pivot for point estimation, clinical decision-making necessitates the construction of well-calibrated prediction intervals that reliably encompass the true phenotypic values. However, phenotypic residuals are frequently characterized by complex heteroscedasticity and stratified variance structures across diverse demographic contexts. Existing approaches often rely on global calibration mechanisms, which fail to account for such localized variance structures and lead to systematic miscalibration within specific subpopulations. To bridge this gap, we propose Clustering-based Split Conformal Prediction with Normalized Residuals (C-SCNR), a versatile framework based on Split Conformal Prediction. By adopting residual normalization and incorporating a repetitive `split-and-cluster` mechanism, C-SCNR dynamically identifies latent error strata and applies fine-grained adjustments to the resulting intervals. Our framework requires no distributional assumptions regarding the phenotype, is compatible with any PGS method, and flexibly accommodates biologically-informed grouping. Simulation studies demonstrate that our framework consistently outperforms existing methods across diverse error distributions. In real-data applications analyzing Body mass index (BMI), Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in the UK Biobank, C-SCNR effectively resolves the coverage deficiencies of existing methods in specific subgroups and consistently yields superior localized calibration. Overall, C-SCNR represents a flexible and powerful framework for constructing high-resolution context-specific prediction intervals, thereby facilitating more reliable clinical interpretations of polygenic risk.
- Subtype Dynamics Reveal Horizon-Dependent Structure in Influenza Predictability
Accurate forecasting of seasonal influenza is critical for public health preparedness, and data-driven models are central to this effort. However, most approaches rely on aggregate indicators of influenza-like-illness (ILI), which can obscure heterogeneity and limit predictability at longer horizons. While subtype dynamics are well established, their role in data-driven forecasting remains incompletely understood. Here, we integrate subtype-resolved surveillance data into diverse data-driven frameworks using over a decade of U.S. surveillance records to evaluate and decompose predictive signal in influenza forecasting. Across pre- and post-COVID-19 periods, subtype-informed models consistently improve over baseline models trained on aggregate ILI alone, with the largest gains at longer horizons. Decomposition reveals a horizon-dependent reorganization of predictability: autoregressive persistence in recent aggregate incidence dominates at short horizons but declines with lead time, while predictive signal shifts toward subtype-derived structure. Within this structure, interaction-related features among co-circulating subtypes grow systematically with forecast horizon, indicating that longer-term predictability is driven increasingly by interaction structure rather than marginal subtype composition alone. Together, our results show that subtype information provides non-redundant predictive signal and extends the effective forecasting window of data-driven models. More broadly, our findings suggest that aggregation of heterogeneous subtype processes can obscure latent predictability, supporting subtype-resolved surveillance.
- Prevotella stercorea links gut microbiome ecology to respiratory infection protection through a host-context-dependent, species-autonomous pathway
Using a longitudinal cohort of 633 Gambian children (IHAT-GUT, NCT02941081), we resolve two mechanistically distinct ecological pathways linking Prevotella stercorea to infection risk. Its abundance positively predicts gut microbiome richness, consistent with community-level colonisation resistance for enteric outcomes. However, its association with reduced acute respiratory infection (ARI) persists unchanged after richness adjustment, identifying a species-autonomous pathway independent of community diversity. Weight-for-age z-score (WAZ) is uncorrelated with microbiome richness within strata, supporting WAZ as a proxy for host immune-metabolic reserve rather than a determinant of microbiome composition. In Low-WAZ children, P. stercorea at Day 1 associates with suppressed CRP, whereas in higher-WAZ children, elevated Day 1 inflammation predicts subsequent P. stercorea colonisation at Day 85, consistent with host-context-dependent immune selection. ARI and fever protection is richness-independent and concentrated in Low-WAZ children. P. copri does not retain an independent protective association when modelled jointly. These findings have direct implications for microbiome-directed interventions.
