For subspace estimation with an unknown colored noise, Factor Analysis (FA) is a good candidate for replacing the popular eigenvalue decomposition (EVD). Finding the unknowns in factor analysis can be done by solving a non-linear least…
Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) and its regularised versions have been widely used in the neuroimaging community to uncover multivariate associations between two data modalities (e.g., brain imaging and behaviour). However, these…
Multivariate functional principal component analysis (MFPCA) is a powerful dimension reduction technique for analyzing multiple functional variables simultaneously. However, existing MFPCA methods assume that all functional observations are…
The Bayes factor, the data-based updating factor of the prior to posterior odds of two hypotheses, is a natural measure of statistical evidence for one hypothesis over the other. We show how Bayes factors can also be used for parameter…
Fourier PCA is Principal Component Analysis of a matrix obtained from higher order derivatives of the logarithm of the Fourier transform of a distribution.We make this method algorithmic by developing a tensor decomposition method for a…
Many modern statistical estimation problems are defined by three major components: a statistical model that postulates the dependence of an output variable on the input features; a loss function measuring the error between the observed…
We present a technique to perform dimensionality reduction on data that is subject to uncertainty. Our method is a generalization of traditional principal component analysis (PCA) to multivariate probability distributions. In comparison to…
We study the robust principal component analysis (RPCA) problem in a distributed setting. The goal of RPCA is to find an underlying low-rank estimation for a raw data matrix when the data matrix is subject to the corruption of gross sparse…
Factors models are routinely used to analyze high-dimensional data in both single-study and multi-study settings. Bayesian inference for such models relies on Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods which scale poorly as the number of…
Portfolio allocation and risk management make use of correlation matrices and heavily rely on the choice of a proper correlation matrix to be used. In this regard, one important question is related to the choice of the proper sample period…
Latent or unobserved phenomena pose a significant difficulty in data analysis as they induce complicated and confounding dependencies among a collection of observed variables. Factor analysis is a prominent multivariate statistical modeling…
Feature selection is an important pre-processing step for many pattern classification tasks. Traditionally, feature selection methods are designed to obtain a feature subset that can lead to high classification accuracy. However,…
High-dimensional, higher-order tensor data are gaining prominence in a variety of fields, including but not limited to computer vision and network analysis. Tensor factor models, induced from noisy versions of tensor decompositions or…

A high-dimensional $r$-factor model for an $n$-dimensional vector time series is characterised by the presence of a large eigengap (increasing with $n$) between the $r$-th and the $(r+1)$-th largest eigenvalues of the covariance matrix.…
Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) are a standard tool in data analysis. However, they face problems when applied to high-dimensional data (e.g., images) due to the size of the required full covariance matrices (CMs), whereas the use of…
Missing Not At Random (MNAR) values lead to significant biases in the data, since the probability of missingness depends on the unobserved values.They are ''not ignorable'' in the sense that they often require defining a model for the…
Static program analysis today takes an analytical approach which is quite suitable for a well-scoped system. Data- and control-flow is taken into account. Special cases such as pointers, procedures, and undefined behavior must be handled. A…
We introduce a novel class of factor analysis methodologies for the joint analysis of multiple studies. The goal is to separately identify and estimate 1) common factors shared across multiple studies, and 2) study-specific factors. We…
In this paper we propose a new iterative algorithm to solve the fair PCA (FPCA) problem. We start with the max-min fair PCA formulation originally proposed in [1] and derive a simple and efficient iterative algorithm which is based on the…
