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.
