Abstract:
|
The Curse of Dimensionality arises whenever one does data analysis in high dimensions, and it is particularly exacerbated when the number of dimensions exceeds the number of observations. New instrumentation and technology have made such situations common, especially in bioinformatics. This has been the challenge problem of the last decade, and some of the best statisticians of our time have tackled it. This talk summarizes the progress on that front, reviewing both theory and methods, and points up recent breakthroughs that have brought fresh clarity and suggested new techniques. Much of the material is based on work related to the 2008 program on "Theory and Methods for Complex, High Dimensional Data" at the Isaac Newton Institute.
