A representative model in integrative analysis of two high-dimensional correlated datasets is to decompose each data matrix into a low-rank common matrix generated by latent factors shared across datasets, a low-rank distinctive matrix corresponding to each dataset, and an additive noise matrix. Existing decomposition methods claim that their common matrices capture the common pattern of the two datasets. However, their so-called common pattern only denotes the common latent factors but ignores the common pattern between the two coefficient matrices of these common latent factors. We propose a new unsupervised learning method, called the common and distinctive pattern analysis (CDPA), which appropriately defines the two types of data patterns by further incorporating the common and distinctive patterns of the coefficient matrices. A consistent estimation approach is developed for high-dimensional settings, and shows reasonably good finite-sample performance in simulations. Our simulation studies and real data analysis corroborate that the proposed CDPA can provide better characterization of common and distinctive patterns and thereby benefit data mining.

Modern biomedical studies often collect multiple types of high-dimensional data on a common set of objects. A popular model for the joint analysis of multi-type datasets decomposes each data matrix into a low-rank common-variation matrix generated by latent factors shared across all datasets, a low-rank distinctive-variation matrix corresponding to each dataset, and an additive noise matrix. We propose decomposition-based generalized canonical correlation analysis (D-GCCA), a novel decomposition method that appropriately defines those matrices on the L2 space of random variables, whereas most existing methods are developed on its approximation, the Euclidean dot product space. Moreover to well calibrate common latent factors, we impose a desirable orthogonality constraint on distinctive latent factors. Existing methods inadequately consider such orthogonality and can thus suffer from substantial loss of undetected common variation. Our D-GCCA takes one step further than GCCA by separating common and distinctive variations among canonical variables, and enjoys an appealing interpretation from the perspective of principal component analysis. Consistent estimators of our common-variation and distinctive-variation matrices are established with good finite-sample numerical performance, and have closed-form expressions leading to efficient computation especially for large-scale datasets. The superiority of D-GCCA over state-of-the-art methods is also corroborated in simulations and real-world data examples.
Neural networks have seen limited use in prediction for high-dimensional data with small sample sizes, because they tend to overfit and require tuning many more hyperparameters than existing off-the-shelf machine learning methods. With small modifications to the network architecture and training procedure, we show that dense neural networks can be a practical data analysis tool in these settings. The proposed method, Ensemble by Averaging Sparse-Input Hierarchical networks (EASIER-net), appropriately prunes the network structure by tuning only two L1-penalty parameters, one that controls the input sparsity and another that controls the number of hidden layers and nodes. The method selects variables from the true support if the irrelevant covariates are only weakly correlated with the response; otherwise, it exhibits a grouping effect, where strongly correlated covariates are selected at similar rates. On a collection of real-world datasets with different sizes, EASIER-net selected network architectures in a data-adaptive manner and achieved higher prediction accuracy than off-the-shelf methods on average.
We introduce a new method of performing high dimensional discriminant analysis, which we call multiDA. We achieve this by constructing a hybrid model that seamlessly integrates a multiclass diagonal discriminant analysis model and feature selection components. Our feature selection component naturally simplifies to weights which are simple functions of likelihood ratio statistics allowing natural comparisons with traditional hypothesis testing methods. We provide heuristic arguments suggesting desirable asymptotic properties of our algorithm with regards to feature selection. We compare our method with several other approaches, showing marked improvements in regard to prediction accuracy, interpretability of chosen features, and algorithm run time. We demonstrate such strengths of our model by showing strong classification performance on publicly available high dimensional datasets, as well as through multiple simulation studies. We make an R package available implementing our approach.
We describe a new library named picasso, which implements a unified framework of pathwise coordinate optimization for a variety of sparse learning problems (e.g., sparse linear regression, sparse logistic regression, sparse Poisson regression and scaled sparse linear regression) combined with efficient active set selection strategies. Besides, the library allows users to choose different sparsity-inducing regularizers, including the convex $ell_1$, nonconvex MCP and SCAD regularizers. The library is coded in C++ and has user-friendly R and Python wrappers. Numerical experiments demonstrate that picasso can scale up to large problems efficiently.
Since the early 1900s, numerous research efforts have been devoted to developing quantitative solutions to stochastic mechanical systems. In general, the problem is perceived as solved when a complete or partial probabilistic description on the quantity of interest (QoI) is determined. However, in the presence of complex system behavior, there is a critical need to go beyond mere probabilistic descriptions. In fact, to gain a full understanding of the system, it is crucial to extract physical characterizations from the probabilistic structure of the QoI, especially when the QoI solution is obtained in a data-driven fashion. Motivated by this perspective, the paper proposes a framework to obtain structuralized characterizations on behaviors of stochastic systems. The framework is named Probabilistic Performance-Pattern Decomposition (PPPD). PPPD analysis aims to decompose complex response behaviors, conditional to a prescribed performance state, into meaningful patterns in the space of system responses, and to investigate how the patterns are triggered in the space of basic random variables. To illustrate the application of PPPD, the paper studies three numerical examples: 1) an illustrative example with hypothetical stochastic processes input and output; 2) a stochastic Lorenz system with periodic as well as chaotic behaviors; and 3) a simplified shear-building model subjected to a stochastic ground motion excitation.
