  10. Research - Building blocks • Explorative data analysis (EDA) • Probabilistic modeling techniques • Variable selection • Applications PhD Hearing (Oct 15, 2003)

  11. Explorative Data Analysis • Gain insights into a data set: structure, imprtant variables, outiers, and the model suggested by the data. • Techniques: scatterplots, boxplots, histograms, PCA, FA, CCA, biplots, etc. • New nonlinear techniques in EDA: kernel PCA, kernel CCA, and nonlinear biplots. Uncovering the nonlinear structure of the data, aid in nonlinear modeling such as LS-SVM. PhD Hearing (Oct 15, 2003)

  17. Variable selection • Importance in medical classification problems • economics of data acquisition • accuracy and complexity of the classifiers • gain insights into the underlying medical problem. • Filter approaches: filter out irrelevant attributes before induction occurs • Wrapper approaches: focus on finding attributes that are usefulfor performance for a specific type of model, rather than necessarily finding the relevant ones.
