Handbook of Big Data provides a state-of-the-art overview of the analysis of large-scale datasets. Featuring contributions from well-known experts in statistics and computer science, this handbook presents a carefully curated collection of techniques from both industry and academia. Thus, the text instills a working understanding of key statistical and computing ideas that can be readily applied in research and practice.Offering balanced coverage of methodology, theory, and applications, this handbook: Describes modern, scalable approaches for analyzing increasingly large datasetsDefines the underlying concepts of the available analytical tools and techniquesDetails intercommunity advances in computational statistics and machine learning Handbook of Big Data also identifies areas in need of further development, encouraging greater communication and collaboration between researchers in big data sub-specialties such as genomics, computational biology, and finance.

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.
