Inferring Cooperativity From Pooled Measurements

Authors Requardt R, Li H Journal Arxiv Citation arXiv:2607.03088 Abstract In many modern experiments, latent interactions drive multicomponent stochastic systems, yet the data are available only as pooled measurements that obscure these dependencies. Whether such interactions can be identified and inferred from aggregate signals remains largely unexplored. Motivated by multi-channel
