Abstract
Apparatus, systems and methods for determining, for each respective phenotypic characterization in a set of {T, . . . , T} characterizations, that a test specimen has the respective characterization are provided. A pairwise probability function g(X, W), for a phenotypic pair (T, T) in {T, . . . , T} is learned using a training population. Wis a set of parameters derived from Y for (T, T) by substituting each Yin Y into g(X, W), as X, where Yis the set of cellular constituent abundance values from sample i in the training population exhibiting Tor T. The learning step is repeated for each (T, T) in {T. . . , T}, thereby deriving pairwise probability functions G={g(X, W), . . . , g(X, W)}. Pairwise probability values P={p, . . . , p} are computed, where each pis equal to g(Z, W) in G, the probability that the test specimen has Tand not T, where Z is cellular constituent abundance values of the test specimen.
