Abstract

Non-negative matrix factorization and sparse representation models have been successfully applied in high-throughput biological data analysis. In this paper, we propose our versatile sparse matrix factorization (VSMF) model for biological data mining. We show that many well-known sparse models are specific cases of VSMF. Through tuning parameters, sparsity, smoothness, and non-negativity can be easily controlled in VSMF. Our computational experiments corroborate the advantages of VSMF.
