Bayesian Modelling and Analysis of Challenging Data: Identifying the Intrinsic Dimension of High-Dimensional Data
When and Where
Speakers
Description
One of the challenges of high-dimensional data is identifying the true information contained therein. In this presentation, I will describe some approaches that we have been considering to address this challenge. These approaches include Bayesian methods of matrix factorisation, intrinsic dimension and structured variable selection. Our work on these methods is set in the context of substantive case studies in image analysis, sport and genomics.
