In many applications, data can be heterogeneous in the sense of spanning latent groups with different underlying distributions. When predictive models are applied to such data the heterogeneity can affect both predictive performance and…
Canonical correlation analysis investigates linear relationships between two sets of variables, but often works poorly on modern data sets due to high-dimensionality and mixed data types such as continuous, binary and zero-inflated. To…
