Biclustering via Mixtures of Regression Models

Abstract

Biclustering of observations and the variables is of interest in many scientific disciplines; In a single set of data matrix it is handled through the singular value decomposition. Here we deal with two sets of variables: Response and predictor sets. We model the joint relationship via regression models and then apply SVD on the coefficient matrix. The sparseness condition is introduced via Group Lasso; the approach discussed here is quite general and is illustrated with an example from Finance.
