Book Frontiers in Massive Data Analysis

Download or read book Frontiers in Massive Data Analysis written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data mining of massive data sets is transforming the way we think about crisis response, marketing, entertainment, cybersecurity and national intelligence. Collections of documents, images, videos, and networks are being thought of not merely as bit strings to be stored, indexed, and retrieved, but as potential sources of discovery and knowledge, requiring sophisticated analysis techniques that go far beyond classical indexing and keyword counting, aiming to find relational and semantic interpretations of the phenomena underlying the data. Frontiers in Massive Data Analysis examines the frontier of analyzing massive amounts of data, whether in a static database or streaming through a system. Data at that scale-terabytes and petabytes-is increasingly common in science (e.g., particle physics, remote sensing, genomics), Internet commerce, business analytics, national security, communications, and elsewhere. The tools that work to infer knowledge from data at smaller scales do not necessarily work, or work well, at such massive scale. New tools, skills, and approaches are necessary, and this report identifies many of them, plus promising research directions to explore. Frontiers in Massive Data Analysis discusses pitfalls in trying to infer knowledge from massive data, and it characterizes seven major classes of computation that are common in the analysis of massive data. Overall, this report illustrates the cross-disciplinary knowledge-from computer science, statistics, machine learning, and application disciplines-that must be brought to bear to make useful inferences from massive data.

Book Computational Reconstruction of Missing Data in Biological Research

Download or read book Computational Reconstruction of Missing Data in Biological Research written by Feng Bao and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-06 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emerging biotechnologies have significantly advanced the study of biological mechanisms. However, biological data usually contain a great amount of missing information, e.g. missing features, missing labels or missing samples, which greatly limits the extensive usage of the data. In this book, we introduce different types of biological data missing scenarios and propose machine learning models to improve the data analysis, including deep recurrent neural network recovery for feature missings, robust information theoretic learning for label missings and structure-aware rebalancing for minor sample missings. Models in the book cover the fields of imbalance learning, deep learning, recurrent neural network and statistical inference, providing a wide range of references of the integration between artificial intelligence and biology. With simulated and biological datasets, we apply approaches to a variety of biological tasks, including single-cell characterization, genome-wide association studies, medical image segmentations, and quantify the performances in a number of successful metrics. The outline of this book is as follows. In Chapter 2, we introduce the statistical recovery of missing data features; in Chapter 3, we introduce the statistical recovery of missing labels; in Chapter 4, we introduce the statistical recovery of missing data sample information; finally, in Chapter 5, we summarize the full text and outlook future directions. This book can be used as references for researchers in computational biology, bioinformatics and biostatistics. Readers are expected to have basic knowledge of statistics and machine learning.

Book Primer to Analysis of Genomic Data Using R

Download or read book Primer to Analysis of Genomic Data Using R written by Cedric Gondro and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-18 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through this book, researchers and students will learn to use R for analysis of large-scale genomic data and how to create routines to automate analytical steps. The philosophy behind the book is to start with real world raw datasets and perform all the analytical steps needed to reach final results. Though theory plays an important role, this is a practical book for graduate and undergraduate courses in bioinformatics and genomic analysis or for use in lab sessions. How to handle and manage high-throughput genomic data, create automated workflows and speed up analyses in R is also taught. A wide range of R packages useful for working with genomic data are illustrated with practical examples. The key topics covered are association studies, genomic prediction, estimation of population genetic parameters and diversity, gene expression analysis, functional annotation of results using publically available databases and how to work efficiently in R with large genomic datasets. Important principles are demonstrated and illustrated through engaging examples which invite the reader to work with the provided datasets. Some methods that are discussed in this volume include: signatures of selection, population parameters (LD, FST, FIS, etc); use of a genomic relationship matrix for population diversity studies; use of SNP data for parentage testing; snpBLUP and gBLUP for genomic prediction. Step-by-step, all the R code required for a genome-wide association study is shown: starting from raw SNP data, how to build databases to handle and manage the data, quality control and filtering measures, association testing and evaluation of results, through to identification and functional annotation of candidate genes. Similarly, gene expression analyses are shown using microarray and RNAseq data. At a time when genomic data is decidedly big, the skills from this book are critical. In recent years R has become the de facto tool for analysis of gene expression data, in addition to its prominent role in analysis of genomic data. Benefits to using R include the integrated development environment for analysis, flexibility and control of the analytic workflow. Included topics are core components of advanced undergraduate and graduate classes in bioinformatics, genomics and statistical genetics. This book is also designed to be used by students in computer science and statistics who want to learn the practical aspects of genomic analysis without delving into algorithmic details. The datasets used throughout the book may be downloaded from the publisher’s website.
