Analysis of High Dimensional Massive Data: from Astronomy to Public Health

The power of modern technology is opening a new era of massive and high dimensional data from astronomy to public health, that is beyond the capabilities of traditional statistical methods. The size of the datasets affords us the opportunity to answer many open scientific questions but also presents some interesting challenges. In this talk, I will highlight problems and recent developments of multiple testing procedures and nonparametric function estimation and explain their connection and roles in high dimensional data analysis. Examples in astronomy and bioinformatics will be presented. The aim of this talk is to serve as a foundation for a possible research collaboration between UGA and SC.
