PhD Seminar: Zhili Qiao, Some Clustering Methods for Omics Data

Nov 14, 2023 - 9:00 AM

to Nov 14, 2023 - 10:00 AM

Location
Snedecor 2113

Speaker: Zhili Qiao, PhD Candidate, Department of Statistics, Iowa State University
Title: Some Clustering Methods for Omics Data
Abstract: The advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies has significantly facilitated omics research over the past two decades, generating a vast volume of data. Unsupervised learning technologies such as cluster analysis serve as powerful tools to uncover hidden patterns and associations in omics data. However, the intricate natural structure and unique characteristics of omics data often make generic clustering methods inefficient or unsuitable.

Bayesian Working Group: Relevance Determination Of Discretized Functional Inputs In Gaussian Process Regression

Nov 6, 2023 - 1:00 PM

to Nov 6, 2023 - 2:00 PM

Location
2113 Snedecor

Presenter: Aditya Ranade, Graduate Student, Department of Statistics, Iowa State University
Title: Relevance Determination Of Discretized Functional Inputs In Gaussian Process Regression
Abstract: In the context of Gaussian process regression, functional input and scalar output is a common scenario. Treating the functional input into discretized vector profiles allows the use of GP under the time varying input framework. Finding the appropriate distance between the vectorized profiles becomes key to the performance of the GP. We look at different distance functions using the ordered input profiles and explore weight (relevance) functions from the Asymmetric Laplace Functional weight (ALF) family.
