In multiple correspondence analysis, both individuals (observations) and categories can be represented in a biplot that jointly depicts the relationships across categories or individuals, as well as the associations between them. Additional…
Heterogeneous data pose serious challenges to data analysis tasks, including exploration and visualization. Current techniques often utilize dimensionality reductions, aggregation, or conversion to numerical values to analyze heterogeneous…
Panels with large time $(T)$ and cross-sectional $(N)$ dimensions are a key data structure in social sciences and other fields. A central question in panel data analysis is whether to pool data across individuals or to estimate separate…
Finite Gaussian mixture models are widely used for model-based clustering of continuous data. Nevertheless, since the number of model parameters scales quadratically with the number of variables, these models can be easily…
Site occupancy models are routinely used to estimate the probability of species presence from either abundance or presence-absence data collected across sites with repeated sampling occasions. In the last two decades, a broad class of…
This study introduces a general semiparametric clusterwise index distribution model to analyze how latent clusters affect the covariate-response relationships. By employing sufficient dimension reduction to account for the effects of…
We propose statistical inferential procedures for panel data models with interactive fixed effects in a kernel ridge regression framework.Compared with traditional sieve methods, our method is automatic in the sense that it does not require…
In this paper, a subgroup least squares and a convex clustering are introduced for inferring a partially heterogenous linear regression that has potential application in the areas of precision marketing and precision medicine. The…
Data cohesion, a recently introduced measure inspired by social interactions, uses distance comparisons to assess relative proximity. In this work, we provide a collection of results which can guide the development of cohesion-based methods…

In the analysis of cluster data, the regression coefficients are frequently assumed to be the same across all clusters. This hampers the ability to study the varying impacts of factors on each cluster. In this paper, a semiparametric model…
Homophily based on observables is widespread in networks. Therefore, homophily based on unobservables (fixed effects) is also likely to be an important determinant of the interaction outcomes. Failing to properly account for latent…
We introduce parametrisation of that property of the available training dataset, that necessitates an inhomogeneous correlation structure for the function that is learnt as a model of the relationship between the pair of variables,…
We develop a general estimation and inference procedure for the common parameters in linear panel data regression models with nonparametric two-way specification of unobserved heterogeneity. The procedure takes as input any first-step…

We consider the problem of testing for differences in group-specific slopes between the selected groups in panel data identified via k-means clustering. In this setting, the classical Wald-type test statistic is problematic because it…
We propose a new approach for constructing synthetic pseudo-panel data from cross-sectional data. The pseudo panel and the preferences it intends to describe is constructed at the individual level and is not affected by aggregation bias…
Multicellular systems play a key role in bioprocess and biomedical engineering. Cell ensembles encountered in these setups show phenotypic variability like size and biochemical composition. As this variability may result in undesired…
