In recent biomedical scientific problems, it is a fundamental issue to integratively cluster a set of objects from multiple sources of datasets. Such problems are mostly encountered in genomics, where data is collected from various sources, and typically represent distinct yet complementary information. Integrating these data sources for multi-source clustering is challenging due to their complex dependence structure including directional dependency. Particularly in genomics studies, it is known that there is certain directional dependence between DNA expression, DNA methylation, and RNA expression, widely called The Central Dogma. Most of the existing multi-view clustering methods either assume an independent structure or pair-wise (non-directional) dependency, thereby ignoring the directional relationship. Motivated by this, we propose a copula-based multi-view clustering model where a copula enables the model to accommodate the directional dependence existing in the datasets. We conduct a simulation experiment where the simulated datasets exhibiting inherent directional dependence: it turns out that ignoring the directional dependence negatively affects the clustering performance. As a real application, we applied our model to the breast cancer tumor samples collected from The Cancer Genome Altas (TCGA).

Stationary and ergodic time series can be constructed using an s-vine decomposition based on sets of bivariate copula functions. The extension of such processes to infinite copula sequences is considered and shown to yield a rich class of models that
generalizes Gaussian ARMA and ARFIMA processes to allow both non-Gaussian marginal behaviour and a non-Gaussian description of the serial partial dependence structure. Extensions of classical causal and invertible representations of linear processes to general s-vine processes are proposed and investigated. A practical and parsimonious method for parameterizing s-vine processes using the Kendall partial autocorrelation function is developed. The potential of the resulting models to give improved statistical fits in many applications is indicated with an example using macroeconomic data.
Copulas provide a modular parameterization of multivariate distributions that decouples the modeling of marginals from the dependencies between them. Gaussian Mixture Copula Model (GMCM) is a highly flexible copula that can model many kinds of multi-
modal dependencies, as well as asymmetric and tail dependencies. They have been effectively used in clustering non-Gaussian data and in Reproducibility Analysis, a meta-analysis method designed to verify the reliability and consistency of multiple high-throughput experiments. Parameter estimation for GMCM is challenging due to its intractable likelihood. The best previous methods have maximized a proxy-likelihood through a Pseudo Expectation Maximization (PEM) algorithm. They have no guarantees of convergence or convergence to the correct parameters. In this paper, we use Automatic Differentiation (AD) tools to develop a method, called AD-GMCM, that can maximize the exact GMCM likelihood. In our simulation studies and experiments with real data, AD-GMCM finds more accurate parameter estimates than PEM and yields better performance in clustering and Reproducibility Analysis. We discuss the advantages of an AD-based approach, to address problems related to monotonic increase of likelihood and parameter identifiability in GMCM. We also analyze, for GMCM, two well-known cases of degeneracy of maximum likelihood in GMM that can lead to spurious clustering solutions. Our analysis shows that, unlike GMM, GMCM is not affected in one of the cases.
An approach to modelling volatile financial return series using stationary d-vine copula processes combined with Lebesgue-measure-preserving transformations known as v-transforms is proposed. By developing a method of stochastically inverting v-trans
forms, models are constructed that can describe both stochastic volatility in the magnitude of price movements and serial correlation in their directions. In combination with parametric marginal distributions it is shown that these models can rival and sometimes outperform well-known models in the extended GARCH family.
In social and economic studies many of the collected variables are measured on a nominal scale, often with a large number of categories. The definition of categories is usually not unambiguous and different classification schemes using either a finer
or a coarser grid are possible. Categorisation has an impact when such a variable is included as covariate in a regression model: a too fine grid will result in imprecise estimates of the corresponding effects, whereas with a too coarse grid important effects will be missed, resulting in biased effect estimates and poor predictive performance. To achieve automatic grouping of levels with essentially the same effect, we adopt a Bayesian approach and specify the prior on the level effects as a location mixture of spiky normal components. Fusion of level effects is induced by a prior on the mixture weights which encourages empty components. Model-based clustering of the effects during MCMC sampling allows to simultaneously detect categories which have essentially the same effect size and identify variables with no effect at all. The properties of this approach are investigated in simulation studies. Finally, the method is applied to analyse effects of high-dimensional categorical predictors on income in Austria.
Multi-view data refers to a setting where features are divided into feature sets, for example because they correspond to different sources. Stacked penalized logistic regression (StaPLR) is a recently introduced method that can be used for classifica
tion and automatically selecting the views that are most important for prediction. We show how this method can easily be extended to a setting where the data has a hierarchical multi-view structure. We apply StaPLR to Alzheimers disease classification where different MRI measures have been calculated from three scan types: structural MRI, diffusion-weighted MRI, and resting-state fMRI. StaPLR can identify which scan types and which MRI measures are most important for classification, and it outperforms elastic net regression in classification performance.
