Bayesian Modeling of High Dimensional Structural Data

In many applications, such as biological sciences, social science, and engineering we encounter high-dimensional observations. Bayesian approach can provide a flexible modeling framework for underlying structures in high dimension such as underlying covariance structure, conditional dependency graphs etc. Read more
