Statistics Seminar Series
Title: Approximation-regularization for the analysis of large data sets
Date: Friday October 21, 11:00am,
Location: MSB 1143 (Statistics Seminar Room)
Speaker: Daniel McDonald (Indiana University, Bloomington)
Abstract: When data sets are extremely large, computational limits can prevent analysis using standard methods like linear regression or principal components analysis (PCA). To address this bottleneck, approximation techniques—variously referred to as “sketching”, “preconditioning”, or “compression”—try to minimize the information loss relative to the unbiased full-data solution subject to computational constraints. However, because the full-data solution is unbiased, it tends to have large variance, and therefore, may not give the best results in terms of mean squared error. In this work we take a different approach: approximate solutions can be better than full-data solutions, because they actually decrease variance in some situations. We examine approximation techniques for least squares regression and discuss extensions to PCA, and PCA regression and demonstrate our results on genetics and astronomy data.

Campus Announcements
Global Engagement Mondays (GEM)
Come to weekly discussions with lifelong American residents and the international community to share and learn about common topics of interest in a relaxed, casual environment.
GEM provides an opportunity for both domestic and international students, scholars, and spouses to discuss a variety of topics in a creative and safe environment. Topics vary from discussing experiences with cross-cultural greetings to discussing personality types and how they impact everyday life. You can read more about the program on the SISS website. Last spring, we averaged an attendance of 30-40 people each Monday!
Every Monday in Fall Quarter: 5:30 – 6:30 p.m.
UC Davis International Center, 2nd Floor Conference Room
For more information, please contact us at: sissconnect@ucdavis.edu.
