Massive parallelization of serial inference algorithms for a complex generalized linear model.

Following a series of high-profile drug safety disasters in recent years, many countries are redoubling their efforts to ensure the safety of licensed medical products. Large-scale observational databases such as claims databases or electronic health record systems are attracting particular attention in this regard, but present significant methodological and computational concerns. In this paper we show how high-performance statistical computation, including graphics processing units, relatively inexpensive highly parallel computing devices, can enable complex methods in large databases. We focus on optimization and massive parallelization of cyclic coordinate descent approaches to fit a conditioned generalized linear model involving tens of millions of observations and thousands of predictors in a Bayesian context. We find orders-of-magnitude improvement in overall run-time. Coordinate descent approaches are ubiquitous in high-dimensional statistics and the algorithms we propose open up exciting new methodological possibilities with the potential to significantly improve drug safety.

Multipopulation-Based Differential Evolution for Large-Scale Many-Objective Optimization.

Authors:
Kai Zhang Chaonan Shen Gary G Yen

IEEE Trans Cybern 2022 Jun 22;PP. Epub 2022 Jun 22.

In recent years, numerous efficient many-objective optimization evolutionary algorithms have been proposed to find well-converged and well-distributed nondominated optimal solutions. However, their scalability performance may deteriorate drastically to solve large-scale many-objective optimization problems (LSMaOPs). Encountering high-dimensional solution space with more than 100 decision variables, some of them may lose diversity and trap into local optima, while others may achieve poor convergence performance.

Online Learning for DNN Training: A Stochastic Block Adaptive Gradient Algorithm.

Authors:
Jianghui Liu Baozhu Li Yangfan Zhou Xuhui Zhao Junlong Zhu Mingchuan Zhang

Comput Intell Neurosci 2022 2;2022:9337209. Epub 2022 Jun 2.

School of Information Engineering, Henan University of Science and Technology, Luoyang 471023, China.

Adaptive algorithms are widely used because of their fast convergence rate for training deep neural networks (DNNs). However, the training cost becomes prohibitively expensive due to the computation of the full gradient when training complicated DNN. To reduce the computational cost, we present a stochastic block adaptive gradient online training algorithm in this study, called SBAG. Read More

Spike-and-slab least absolute shrinkage and selection operator generalized additive models and scalable algorithms for high-dimensional data analysis.

Authors:
Boyi Guo Byron C Jaeger A K M Fazlur Rahman D Leann Long Nengjun Yi

Stat Med 2022 Jun 5. Epub 2022 Jun 5.

Department of Biostatistics, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama, USA.

There are proposals that extend the classical generalized additive models (GAMs) to accommodate high-dimensional data ( ) using group sparse regularization. However, the sparse regularization may induce excess shrinkage when estimating smooth functions, damaging predictive performance. Moreover, most of these GAMs consider an "all-in-all-out" approach for functional selection, rendering them difficult to answer if nonlinear effects are necessary. Read More

On Consistent Entropy-Regularized k-Means Clustering With Feature Weight Learning: Algorithm and Statistical Analyses.

Authors:
Saptarshi Chakraborty Debolina Paul Swagatam Das

IEEE Trans Cybern 2022 May 24;PP. Epub 2022 May 24.

Clusters in real data are often restricted to low-dimensional subspaces rather than the entire feature space. Recent approaches to circumvent this difficulty are often computationally inefficient and lack theoretical justification in terms of their large-sample behavior. This article deals with the problem by introducing an entropy incentive term to efficiently learn the feature importance within the framework of center-based clustering. Read More

Sparse System Identification of Leptin Dynamics in Women With Obesity.

Md Rafiul Amin Divesh Deepak Pednekar Hamid Fekri Azgomi Herman van Wietmarschen Kirstin Aschbacher Rose T Faghih

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022 5;13:769951. Epub 2022 Apr 5.

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Houston, Houston, TX, United States.

The prevalence of obesity is increasing around the world at an alarming rate. The interplay of the hormone leptin with the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis plays an important role in regulating energy balance, thereby contributing to obesity. This study presents a mathematical model, which describes hormonal behavior leading to an energy abnormal equilibrium that contributes to obesity. Read More
