Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) infers a pairwise linear relationship between two groups of random variables, X and Y. In this paper, we present a new procedure based on Rényi's pseudodistances (RP) aiming to detect linear and non-linear relationships between the two groups. RP canonical analysis (RPCCA) finds canonical coefficient vectors, a and b, by maximizing an RP-based measure. This new family includes the Information Canonical Correlation Analysis (ICCA) as a particular case and extends the method for distances inherently robust against outliers. We provide estimating techniques for RPCCA and show the consistency of the proposed estimated canonical vectors. Further, a permutation test for determining the number of significant pairs of canonical variables is described. The robustness properties of the RPCCA are examined theoretically and empirically through a simulation study, concluding that the RPCCA presents a competitive alternative to ICCA with an added advantage in terms of robustness against outliers and data contamination.

Background: University students in Saudi Arabia are embracing some of the negative traits of the fast-paced modern lifestyle, typified by unhealthy eating, low physical activity, and poor sleep habits that may increase their risk for poor health. Health and holistic well-being at the population level are among the priorities of the 2030 vision of a vibrant society in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The current study thus aims at determining the prevalence and predictive factors of Suboptimal Health Status (SHS) among university students.

The present study collected wastewater samples from fourteen (14) full-scale wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) at different treatment stages, namely, primary, secondary, and tertiary, to understand the impact of WWTP processes on the bacterial community structure, their role, and their correlation with environmental variables (water quality parameters). The findings showed that the bacterial communities in the primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment stages are more or less similar. They are made up of 42 phyla, 84 classes, 154 orders, 212 families, and 268 genera.

Introduction: Color vision deficiency (CVD), a common visual impairment, affects individuals' ability to differentiate between various colors due to malfunctioning or absent color photoreceptors in the retina. Currently available diagnostic tests require a behavioral response, rendering them unsuitable for individuals with limited physical and communication abilities, such as those with locked-in syndrome. This study introduces a novel, non-invasive method that employs brain signals, specifically Steady-State Visually Evoked Potentials (SSVEPs), along with Ishihara plates to diagnose CVD.

Brain imaging genetics aims to explore the association between genetic factors such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and brain imaging quantitative traits (QTs). However, most existing methods do not consider the nonlinear correlations between genotypic and phenotypic data, as well as potential higher-order relationships among subjects when identifying bi-multivariate associations. In this paper, a novel method called deep hyper-Laplacian regularized self-representation learning based structured association analysis (DHRSAA) is proposed which can learn genotype-phenotype associations and obtain relevant biomarkers.

We addressed genomic prediction accounting for partial correlation of marker effects, which entails the estimation of the partial correlation network/graph (PCN) and the precision matrix of an unobservable m-dimensional random variable. To this end, we developed a set of statistical models and methods by extending the canonical model selection problem in Gaussian concentration, and directed acyclic graph models. Our frequentist formulations combined existing methods with the EM algorithm and were termed Glasso-EM, Concord-EM and CSCS-EM, whereas our Bayesian formulations corresponded to hierarchical models termed Bayes G-Sel and Bayes DAG-Sel.
