Privacy-Preserving Multivariate Bayesian Regression Models for Overcoming Data Sharing Barriers in Health and Genomics

Show abstract
We present multivariate Bayesian regression models specifically designed to over-come data-sharing barriers in health and genomics. These multi-response models are well suited for scenarios where data must remain decentralized due to privacy, intellectual property, or regulatory constraints. In extensive simulation studies, our approach consistently outperformed traditional single-response models trained on individual datasets, particularly under real-world conditions such as low signal, unbalanced cohorts, and high-dimensional feature spaces. For the first time, we demonstrate that multivariate Bayesian regression can be implemented using or-thogonal transformations of sufficient statistics, enabling fully privacy-preserving analysis without sharing individual-level data. The models are scalable, inter-pretable, and applicable to predictive tasks across diverse collaborators, supporting secure data-driven research in domains such as clinical trials, biomarker discovery, and precision health.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
