New framework tackles conflicting cell-fate assignments in single-cell analysis

A new framework called FateMultiplicity has been developed to address conflicting cell-fate assignments in single-cell trajectory inference. This label-free approach constructs a set of statistically admissible models, known as a Rashomon set, by evaluating model discrepancy on cross-fitted genes without relying on lineage labels. The research indicates that the diversity of models, rather than their sheer number, significantly impacts multiplicity, and that per-cell certification does not reliably improve fate call accuracy compared to the model's own confidence margins.

IMPACT Introduces a novel computational framework for analyzing biological data, potentially improving the reliability of cell-fate predictions.

    Predictive Multiplicity in Cell-Fate Assignment: Label-Free Rashomon Sets and the Limits of Per-Cell Certification

    arXiv:2610.11185v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Single-cell trajectory inference maps transcriptomic measurements onto developmental continua, yet configurations that fit the data equally well can assign conflicting cell fates. FateMultiplicity is a label-free framework that cons…
