Circular functional analysis of OCT data for precise identification
Progressive optic neuropathies such as glaucoma are major causes of blindness globally. Multiple sources of subjectivity and analytical challenges are often encountered by clinicians in the process of early diagnosis and clinical management of these diseases.
Read MoreData fusion using factor analysis and low-rank matrix completion
Data fusion involves the integration of multiple related datasets. The statistical file-matching problem is a canonical data fusion problem in multivariate analysis.
Read MoreEstimation of Tail Probabilities
Synthetic data, when properly used, can enhance patterns in real data and thus provide insights into different problems. Here, the estimation of tail probabilities of rare events from a moderately large number of observations is considered.

Read MoreRgCop-A regularized copula based method for gene selection in single-cell RNA-seq data
Gene selection in unannotated large single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data is important and crucial step in the preliminary step of downstream analysis. The existing approaches are primarily based on high variation (highly variable genes).
Read MoreFood Insecurity Estimation in Rural Uttar Pradesh, India
Multivariate small area estimation methods are used in this study to obtain reliable and representative model-based estimates of food insecurity indicators (Prevalence, Gap and Severity) at district level for the rural areas of Uttar Pradesh in India. The disaggregate level estimates along with spatial maps of food insecurity indicators are directly relevant to sustainable development goal indicator 2.1.2 - severity of food insecurity.
