In many biomedical problems, data are often heterogeneous, with samples spanning multiple patient subgroups, where different subgroups may have different disease subtypes, stages, or other medical contexts. These subgroups may be related,…
A variety of genome-wide profiling techniques are available to probe complementary aspects of genome structure and function. Integrative analysis of heterogeneous data sources can reveal higher-level interactions that cannot be detected…
Rapid technological advances have allowed for molecular profiling across multiple omics domains from a single sample for clinical decision making in many diseases, especially cancer. As tumor development and progression are dynamic…
Radiogenomics is an emerging field in cancer research that combines medical imaging data with genomic data to predict patients clinical outcomes. In this paper, we propose a multivariate sparse group lasso joint model to integrate imaging…
With declining sequencing costs a promising and affordable tool is emerging in cancer diagnostics: genomics. By using association studies, genomic variants that predispose patients to specific cancers can be identified, while by using tumor…
In cancer research, profiling studies have been extensively conducted, searching for genes/SNPs associated with prognosis. Cancer is a heterogeneous disease. Examining similarity and difference in the genetic basis of multiple subtypes of…
Background: Cancers are highly heterogeneous with different subtypes. These subtypes often possess different genetic variants, present different pathological phenotypes, and most importantly, show various clinical outcomes such as varied…
With the advancement of high-throughput biotechnologies, we increasingly accumulate biomedical data about diseases, especially cancer. There is a need for computational models and methods to sift through, integrate, and extract new…
High resolution microarrays and second-generation sequencing platforms are powerful tools to investigate genome-wide alterations in DNA copy number, methylation and gene expression associated with a disease. An integrated genomic profiling…
Cancer genomes exhibit a large number of different alterations that affect many genes in a diverse manner. It is widely believed that these alterations follow combinatorial patterns that have a strong connection with the underlying…
Cancer is a number of related yet highly heterogeneous diseases. Correct identification of cancer subtypes is critical for clinical decisions. The advance in sequencing technologies has made it possible to study cancer based on abundant…
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) has been used to study the pathogenesis of diseases. To enhance the interpretability of classical PCA, various improved PCA methods have been proposed to date. Among these, a typical method is the…
Recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in rigorous algorithms for the inference of cancer progression from genomic data. The motivations are manifold: (i) growing NGS and single cell data from cancer patients, (ii) need for novel…
Cancer development is associated with aberrant DNA methylation, including increased stochastic variability. Statistical tests for discovering cancer methylation biomarkers have focused on changes in mean methylation. To improve the power of…
The objectives of this "perspective" paper are to review some recent advances in sparse feature selection for regression and classification, as well as compressed sensing, and to discuss how these might be used to develop tools to advance…
We consider a method to jointly estimate sparse precision matrices and their underlying graph structures using dependent high-dimensional datasets. We present a penalized maximum likelihood estimator which encourages both sparsity and…
The analysis of cancer genomic data has long suffered "the curse of dimensionality". Sample sizes for most cancer genomic studies are a few hundreds at most while there are tens of thousands of genomic features studied. Various methods have…
Recent technological advances have made it possible to collect high-dimensional genomic data along with clinical data on a large number of subjects. In the studies of chronic diseases such as cancer, it is of great interest to integrate…
The analysis of cancer omics data is a "classic" problem, however, still remains challenging. Advancing from early studies that are mostly focused on a single type of cancer, some recent studies have analyzed data on multiple "related"…
It is increasingly common clinically for cancer specimens to be examined using techniques that identify somatic mutations. In principle these mutational profiles can be used to diagnose the tissue of origin, a critical task for the 3-5% of…
