Potential application areas of statistical modeling for heterogeneous data are extensive but some particular areas are identified. For historical reasons and considering the background of the team members, MODAL is mainly focused on biological applications where new challenges in high throughput technologies are opened. In addition, other secondary applications areas are considered in industry, retail, credit scoring and astronomy. Several contacts and collaborations are already established with some partners in these application areas and are described in Sections 7 and 8.
