Abstract:

Although microscopic, phytoplankton in the ocean are extremely important to all of life and are together responsible for as much photosynthesis as all plants on land combined. Today, oceanographers are able to collect flow cytometry data in real time while onboard a moving ship, providing them with fine-scale information about the distribution of phytoplankton across thousands of kilometers. We present a novel mixture of multivariate sparse regressions model to estimate the time-varying phytoplankton subpopulations while simultaneously identifying the specific environmental covariates that are predictive of the observed changes to these subpopulations.
