We have a new paper “VC-PCR: a prediction method based on supervised variable selection and clustering” about variable clustering in transcriptomics and in general. Great work especially from Rebecca, who just defended her PhD, and from Rainer and Bernadette, the two other members of our Belgian🇧🇪-American🇺🇸-German🇩🇪 tag team!

Postdoctoral visitor
Somnath Chakraborty has secured a three-month fellowship from the RUB research school to visit us here in Bochum! Congratulations! 🥳
Latest JMLR Paper Online
Our paper “Estimating the lasso’s effective noise” at JMLR is now online here.
Fundamentals of high-dimensional statistics 📖
The textbook “Fundamentals of High-Dimensional Statistics: With Exercises and R Labs” has now appeared as a part of Springer Texts in Statistics. The book features step-by-step introductions, numerous exercises with solutions, and R labs. It is available as a hardcover, softcover, and ebook. Most university libraries have access to the ebook already—ask them otherwise, or ask them to get an actual book if you prefer. Get more information about the book here.
