A Bayesian multivariate model with a structured covariance matrix for multi-way nested data is proposed. This flexible modeling framework allows for positive and for negative associations among clustered observations, and generalizes the…
The grade of membership model is a flexible latent variable model for analyzing multivariate categorical data through individual-level mixed membership scores. In many modern applications, auxiliary covariates are collected alongside…
In this paper we give a completely new approach to the problem of covariate selection in linear regression. A covariate or a set of covariates is included only if it is better in the sense of least squares than the same number of Gaussian…
Sparse Principal Components Analysis (PCA) has been proposed as a way to improve both interpretability and reliability of PCA. However, use of sparse PCA in practice is hindered by the difficulty of tuning the multiple hyperparameters that…

We consider the problem of multivariate location and scatter matrix estimation when the data contain cellwise and casewise outliers. Agostinelli et al. (2015) propose a two-step approach to deal with this problem: first, apply a univariate…

Covariance estimation becomes challenging in the regime where the number p of variables outstrips the number n of samples available to construct the estimate. One way to circumvent this problem is to assume that the covariance matrix is…
We introduce a new method for sparse principal component analysis, based on the aggregation of eigenvector information from carefully-selected axis-aligned random projections of the sample covariance matrix. Unlike most alternative…
We develop a fast variational approximation scheme for Gaussian process (GP) regression, where the spectrum of the covariance function is subjected to a sparse approximation. Our approach enables uncertainty in covariance function…
Sparse linear regression -- finding an unknown vector from linear measurements -- is now known to be possible with fewer samples than variables, via methods like the LASSO. We consider the multiple sparse linear regression problem, where…
Visual representation based on covariance matrix has demonstrates its efficacy for image classification by characterising the pairwise correlation of different channels in convolutional feature maps. However, pairwise correlation will…
