Title: Variable Selection Techniques for Analyzing High Dimensional Data sets
Abstract: In the modern big data era, data sets with a large number of features is a common phenomenon. In this talk, I will present an overview of high dimensional variable selection methods along with some recent advances both from the frequentist and Bayesian viewpoints. Both computational and theoretical challenges and ways to address them will be discussed.
