ECO-power: A novel method to reveal common mechanisms underlying coupled dataMartijn SchoutedenKU Leuven | |
| Abstract: | Often data are collected consisting of different blocks that all contain information about the same entities (e.g., items, persons, situations). In order to unveil the mechanisms underlying these data blocks, an integrated analysis of the whole of all data blocks may be most useful. An interesting class of methods for such an approach is the family of methods of simultaneous component analysis. Recently, these methods have been extended so that the mechanisms that are common to all data blocks and the mechanisms that are distinctive for one or a few of them, could be revealed. However, the primary focus of these extended methods is on revealing distinctive mechanisms, with common mechanisms having a more residual-like status. Yet, sometimes, the retrieval of common mechanisms may be of utmost importance. To fulfill this need, I will present a novel method, using ideas underlying power regression. After describing this method, I will illustrate it with data stemming from systems biology. |
