This book provides comprehensive reviews of recent progress in matrix
variate and tensor variate data analysis from applied points of view.
Matrix and tensor approaches for data analysis are known to be extremely
useful for recently emerging complex and high-dimensional data in
various applied fields. The reviews contained herein cover recent
applications of these methods in psychology (Chap. 1), audio signals
(Chap. 2), image analysis from tensor principal component analysis
(Chap. 3), and image analysis from decomposition (Chap. 4), and genetic
data (Chap. 5) . Readers will be able to understand the present status
of these techniques as applicable to their own fields. In Chapter 5
especially, a theory of tensor normal distributions, which is a basic in
statistical inference, is developed, and multi-way regression,
classification, clustering, and principal component analysis are
exemplified under tensor normal distributions. Chapter 6 treats
one-sided tests under matrix variate and tensor variate normal
distributions, whose theory under multivariate normal distributions has
been a popular topic in statistics since the books of Barlow et al.
(1972) and Robertson et al. (1988). Chapters 1, 5, and 6 distinguish
this book from ordinary engineering books on these topics.
