Gene hunting with knockoffs for hidden Markov models
Published in Biometrika, 2019
This paper develop an exact construction of knockoffs for variables distributed as hidden Markov models, and builds upon this a principled and versatile method for controlling the false discovery rate in genome-wide association studies.

Deep Knockoffs
Published in Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2019
This paper introduces a machine for sampling approximate model-X knockoffs for arbitrary and unspecified data distributions using deep generative models. By building upon the existing model-X framework, we thus obtain a flexible and model-free statistical tool to perform controlled variable selection.
