Discussion of: Treelets--An adaptive multi-scale basis for sparse unordered data
This is a discussion of paper "Treelets--An adaptive multi-scale basis for sparse unordered data" [arXiv:0707.0481] by Ann B. Lee, Boaz Nadler and Larry Wasserman. In this paper the authors defined a new type of dimension reduction algorithm, namely, the treelet algorithm. The treelet method has the merit of being completely data driven, and its decomposition is easier to interpret as compared to PCR. It is suitable in some certain situations, but it also has its own limitations. I will discuss both the strength and the weakness of this method when applied to microarray data analysis.

Discussion of: Treelets--An adaptive multi-scale basis for sparse unordered data
We would like to congratulate Lee, Nadler and Wasserman on their contribution to clustering and data reduction methods for high $p$ and low $n$ situations. A composite of clustering and traditional principal components analysis, treelets is an innovative method for multi-resolution analysis of unordered data. It is an improvement over traditional PCA and an important contribution to clustering methodology. Their paper [arXiv:0707.0481] presents theory and supporting applications addressing the two main goals of the treelet method: (1) Uncover the underlying structure of the data and (2) Data r…

Discussion of: Treelets--An adaptive multi-scale basis for sparse unordered data
We congratulate Lee, Nadler and Wasserman (henceforth LNW) on a very interesting paper on new methodology and supporting theory [arXiv:0707.0481]. Treelets seem to tackle two important problems of modern data analysis at once. For datasets with many variables, treelets give powerful predictions even if variables are highly correlated and redundant. Maybe more importantly, interpretation of the results is intuitive. Useful insights about relevant groups of variables can be gained. Our comments and questions include: (i) Could the success of treelets be replicated by a combination of hierarchica…
