Abstract

The paper is devoted to the perspectives, challenges, and limitations of big data analysis in biomedical problems. We present three examples illustrating the diversity of sources and types of biomedical data within a broader interdisciplinary research and perform their analysis by means of methods of multivariate statistics and machine learning. We also describe our view of the concept of information-based medicine.
