Multiset correlation and factor analysis enables exploration of multi-omic data
Multi-omics datasets are becoming more common, necessitating better integration methods to realize their revolutionary potential. Here, we introduce Multi-set Correlation and Factor Analysis, an unsupervised integration method that enables fast inference of shared and private factors in multi-modal data. Applied to 614 ancestry-diverse participant samples across five omics types, MCFA infers a shared space that captures clinically relevant molecular processes.
