Preface

A tremendous growth of high-throughput techniques leads to huge data collections that are accumulating in an exponential speed with high volume, velocity, and variety. This creates the challenges of big data analytics for statistical science. These challenges demand creative innovation of statistical methods and smart computational Quantlets, macros, and programs to capture the often genuinely sparse informational content of huge unstructured data. Particularly, the development of analytic methodologies must take into account the co-design of hardware and
