Abstract:
|
In this talk, I shall review new developments and challenges related to the discovery of latent regression structures via Bayesian hierarchical models in a range of epidemiological and genetic problems. In the first part, the presentation will focus on outlining the construction and interpretation of flexible clustering structures within a regression framework aimed at capturing the effect of complex combination of predictors on health outcomes. In the second part, models and algorithms developed to discover sparse regression structures that may link several high dimensional data sets will be outlined. The talk will be illustrated throughout by case studies from epidemiology and integrative genomics.
