Learning algorithms and statistical software, with applications to bioinformatics

Statistical machine learning is a branch of mathematics concerned with developing algorithms for data analysis. This thesis presents new mathematical models and statistical software, and is organized into two parts. In the first part, I present several new algorithms for clustering and segmentation. Clustering and segmentation are a class of techniques that attempt to find structures in data. I discuss the following contributions, with a focus on applications to cancer data from bioinformatics. In the second part, I focus on statistical software contributions which are practical for use in everyday data analysis.
