Abstract:

In this talk, we discuss matrix volume, a generalization of the determinant to rectangular matrices. This relatively unexplored tool in statistical field has a lot of potential for finding scientifically vital signatures in massive data. Based on matrix volume concept, we develop a family of randomized matrix volume algorithms (RMV) to identify the most "activated" submatrices. We apply RMV to a resting state fMRI study and identify "seed" voxels, a compressed network of activated brain regions.
