Axis 1: Model-Based Co-clustering with Co-variables

Participant : Serge Iovleff.

This work has been motivated by an epidemiological and genetic survey of malaria disease in Senegal. Data were collected between 1990 and 2008. It is based on a latent block model taking into account the problem of grouping variables and clustering individuals by integrating information given by a set of co-variables. Numerical experiments on simulated data sets and an application on real genetic data highlight the interest of this approach. BEM algorithm is deduced and implemented in R package simerge and has led to a specific preprint [24].
