Log-symmetric regression models are particularly useful when the response variable is continuous, strictly positive and asymmetric. In this paper, we proposed a class of log-symmetric regression models in the context of correlated errors.…
In large-scale genomic applications vast numbers of molecular features are scanned in order to find a small number of candidates which are linked to a particular disease or phenotype. This is a variable selection problem in the "large p,…
In many supervised learning applications, the response consists of both continuous and binary outcomes. Studies have shown that jointly modeling such mixed-type responses can substantially improve predictive performance compared to separate…
Melodic similarity measurement is of key importance in music information retrieval. In this paper, we use geometric matching techniques to measure the similarity between two melodies. We represent music as sets of points or sets of…
Concerning bivariate least squares linear regression, the classical approach pursued for functional models in earlier attempts is reviewed using a new formalism in terms of deviation (matrix) traces. Within the framework of classical error…
This paper develops an exact solution framework for the choice-based time slot management problem under mixed logit demand in attended home delivery systems. The problem jointly optimizes delivery slot offerings, price discounts, and…
Non-gaussian spatial data are very common in many disciplines. For instance, count data are common in disease mapping, and binary data are common in ecology. When fitting spatial regressions for such data, one needs to account for…
Many complex engineering systems consist of multiple subsystems that are developed by different teams of engineers. To analyse, simulate and control such complex systems, accurate yet computationally efficient models are required. Modular…
Combined inference for heterogeneous high-dimensional data is critical in modern biology, where clinical and various kinds of molecular data may be available from a single study. Classical genetic association studies regress a single…
This study investigates the dynamics of alternating minimization applied to a bilinear regression task with normally distributed covariates, under the asymptotic system size limit where the number of parameters and observations diverge at…
A key challenge in machine learning is to design interpretable models that can reduce their inputs to the best subset for making transparent predictions, especially in the clinical domain. In this work, we propose a certifiably optimal…
In this paper, we consider the multivariate Bernoulli distribution as a model to estimate the structure of graphs with binary nodes. This distribution is discussed in the framework of the exponential family, and its statistical properties…
Designing models that are both expressive and preserve known invariances of tasks is an increasingly hard problem. Existing solutions tradeoff invariance for computational or memory resources. In this work, we show how to leverage…
We discuss a unified approach to stochastic optimization of pseudo-Boolean objective functions based on particle methods, including the cross-entropy method and simulated annealing as special cases. We point out the need for auxiliary…
Tensor data are increasingly available in many application domains. We develop several tensor decomposition methods for binary tensor data. Different from classical tensor decompositions for continuous-valued data with squared error loss,…
We develop a Bayesian methodology aimed at simultaneously estimating low-rank and row-sparse matrices in a high-dimensional multiple-response linear regression model. We consider a carefully devised shrinkage prior on the matrix of…
Structured Latent Attribute Models (SLAMs) are a family of discrete latent variable models widely used in education, psychology, and epidemiology to model multivariate categorical data. A SLAM assumes that multiple discrete latent…
Bayesian classification and regression with high order interactions is largely infeasible because Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) would need to be applied with a great many parameters, whose number increases rapidly with the order. In this…
We provide algorithms for isotonic regression minimizing $L_0$ error (Hamming distance). This is also known as monotonic relabeling, and is applicable when labels have a linear ordering but not necessarily a metric. There may be…
Malleable scheduling is a model that captures the possibility of parallelization to expedite the completion of time-critical tasks. A malleable job can be allocated and processed simultaneously on multiple machines, occupying the same time…
