Linear and Nonlinear Dimensionality Reduction with Nikolay Oskolkov, Molecular Biosciences, Lund University
https://instats.org/seminar/linear-and-nonlinear-dimensionality-redu?utm_source=dresa
Description:
This seminar provides a comprehensive overview of dimension reduction techniques in R and Python for high-dimensional complex datasets, focusing on their practical applications. Participants will gain theoretical knowledge and practical experience in linear and nonlinear methods such as PCA, tSNE and UMAP. By the conclusion of the seminar, participants will understand the theoretical and practical foundations of these methods, with a wealth of examples that can be rapidly applied for their own research problems.
