Special Biostatistics Lecture

Title: Statistical Linkage across High Dimensional Observational Domains
Presenters: Leonard B. Hearne, Life Sciences Center and Dept. of Statistics, University of Missouri, USA
and Toni Kazic, University of Missouri Informatics Institute and Dept. of Computer Science, University of Missouri, USA

Abstract: Many experimental sciences collect different kinds of high-dimensional data on the same experimental units. When comparing relationships among homogeneous regions in one high dimensional domain with regions in another high dimensional domain, the number of possible comparisons may be extremely large and their complexity unknown.
We outline procedures for identifying possible relationships among regions in two different high-dimensional domains. These procedures are useful when the complexity of relationships is unknown or varies. If the data are dense enough, then statistical measures of association can be estimated. These procedures can identify and measure the probability of inter-domain associations of mixed complexity.
