MODELING CELL POPULATIONS MEASURED BY FLOW CYTOMETRY WITH COVARIATES USING SPARSE MIXTURE OF REGRESSIONS.

ABSTRACT: The ocean is filled with microscopic microalgae, called phytoplankton, which together are responsible for as much photosynthesis as all plants on land combined. Our ability to predict their response to the warming ocean relies on understanding how the dynamics of phytoplankton populations is influenced by changes in environmental conditions. One powerful technique to study the dynamics of phytoplankton is flow cytometry which measures the optical properties of thousands of individual cells per second. Today, oceanographers are able to collect flow cytometry data in real time onboard a moving ship, providing them with fine-scale resolution of the distribution of phytoplankton across thousands of kilometers. One of the current challenges is to understand how these small- and large-scale vari
