In the era of big data, it is challenging to exploit external auxiliary information to improve the analysis of smaller-scale studies because the subject-level data are high-dimensional while the external information is at an aggregate level and of a lower dimension. Moreover, heterogeneity and uncertainty in the auxiliary information are often not accounted for in information synthesis. Sheng will discuss a unified penalized empirical likelihood framework that tackles these problems in combining information from different sources.
