Model selection and robust inference of mutational signatures using Negative Binomial non-negative matrix factorization.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The spectrum of mutations in a collection of cancer genomes can be described by a mixture of a few mutational signatures. The mutational signatures can be found using non-negative matrix factorization (NMF). To extract the mutational signatures we have to assume a distribution for the observed mutational counts and a number of mutational signatures. In most applications, the mutational counts are...
