This volume comprises a collection of papers by world- renowned experts on image analysis. The papers range from survey articles to research papers, and from theoretical topics such as simulated annealing through to applied image reconstruction. It covers applications as diverse as biomedicine, astronomy, and geophysics. As a result, any researcher working on image analysis will find this book provides an up-to-date overview of the field and in addition, the extensive bibliographies will make this a useful reference.

This book features research contributions fromThe Abel Symposium on Statistical Analysis for High Dimensional Data, held inNyvågar, Lofoten, Norway, in May 2014.The focus of the symposium was on statisticaland machine learning methodologies specifically developed for inference in “bigdata” situations, with particular reference to genomic applications. Thecontributors, who are among the most prominent researchers on the theory ofstatistics for high dimensional inference, present new theories and methods, aswell as challenging applications and computational solutions. Specific themesinclude, among others, variable selection and screening, penalised regression,sparsity, thresholding, low dimensional structures, computational challenges,non-convex situations, learning graphical models, sparse covariance andprecision matrices, semi- and non-parametric formulations, multiple testing,classification, factor models, clustering, and preselection.Highlighting cutting-edge researchand casting light on future research directions, the contributions will benefitgraduate students and researchers in computational biology, statistics and themachine learning community.
