The ability to distinguish among diets fed to Damascus goats using excitation-emission luminescence spectra was investigated. These diets consisted of Medicago sativa L. (alfalfa), Trifolium spp. (clover), Pistacia lentiscus, Phyllirea latifolia and Pinus brutia. The three-dimensional luminescence response surface from phosphate buffered saline (PBS) extracts of each material was analyzed using muti-way analysis chemometric tools (MPCA) and parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC). Using three principal components, the spectra from each diet material were distinguished. Additionally, fecal samples from goats fed diets of either alfalfa or clover hays were investigated. The application of MPCA and PARAFAC to these samples using models derived from the pre-digested diet materials was strongly suggestive of the utility of similarly derive training samples for the elucidation of botanical diet composition for animals.

The development of modern sequencing technologies provides great opportunities to measure gene expression of multiple tissues from different individuals. The three-way variation across genes, tissues, and individuals makes statistical inference a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian multi-way clustering approach to cluster genes, tissues, and individuals simultaneously.

Data increasingly take the form of a multi-way array, or tensor, in several biomedical domains. Such tensors are often incompletely observed. For example, we are motivated by longitudinal microbiome studies in which several timepoints are missing for several subjects.

Background: Across numerous investigations delved into second- and higher-order data, an undoubted finding emerges: models based on such data can effectively exploit the second-order advantage. However, whether further benefits can be achieved by modeling data of higher dimensions remains a subject of inquiry. In this regard, a prevailing question emerges in third-order data-based applications regarding the fundamental need to increase the data dimension and, hence, the data analysis complexity.

In conventional subgroup analyses, subgroup treatment effects are estimated using data from each subgroup separately without considering data from other subgroups in the same study. The subgroup treatment effects estimated this way may be heterogenous with high variability due to small sample sizes in some subgroups and much different from the treatment effect in the overall population. A Bayesian hierarchical model (BHM) can be used to derive more precise, and less heterogenous estimates of subgroup treatment effects that are closer to the treatment effect in the overall population.
