Momiao Xiong, PhD

Department of Biostatistics

University of Texas School of Public Health

Independently learn new skills like R, C++ and some new statistical methods to handle image data in thesis research.

Proposed a project to develop a novel automatic image classification method. Combined image segmentation and functional principal component analysis (FPCA) to extract meaningful features from image data.

One dimension FPCA had been extended to three dimensions to capture both spatial and spectral information.

Sparse sufficient dimension reduction (SDR) and support vector machine (SVM) had been used to select important features.
