    Penalized Model-Based Clustering with Group-Dependent Shrinkage Estimation

    Gaussian mixture models (GMM) are the most-widely employed approach to perform model-based clustering of continuous features. Grievously, with the increasing availability of high-dimensional datasets, their di...

    Nonparametric semi-supervised classification with application to signal detection in high energy physics

    Model-independent searches in particle physics aim at completing our knowledge of the universe by looking for new possible particles not predicted by the current theories. Such particles, referred to as signal, a...

    Co-clustering of Time-Dependent Data via the Shape Invariant Model

    Multivariate time-dependent data, where multiple features are observed over time for a set of individuals, are increasingly widespread in many application domains. To model these data, we need to account for r...

    Three Testing Perspectives on Connectome Data

    Guided by an application in the analysis of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans from the neuroimaging realm, we provide some perspectives on statistical techniques that are able to address issues commonly e...
