Theme: “Statistical Machine Learning for Biomedical Data”
Date: August 20-21, 2020
Time: 11am-5:30pm (EDT)
Registration: Link
Dr. Noah Simon from the University of Washington will present a 1-day intensive workshop. You’ll learn about how traditional statistical methods like logistic regression can be used for high dimensional data (data with many variables) and then move onto machine learning methods such as random forests, support vector machines, (gradient) boosting using trees and neural networks. New machine learning methods will be related to more classical statistical approaches – all designed for an audience with familiarity with statistical approaches and discussed in the context of biomedical big data and predictive modeling.
SORA-TABA WORKSHOP and BIOSTATISTICS RESEARCH DAY 2019
Theme: “Regression Modeling Strategies”
The Division of Biostatistics at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health is pleased to host the SORA-TABA Workshop & DLSPH Biostatistics Research Day. The event brings together regional and local statistical communities who are interested in biostatistics, financial statistics and other applied areas of statistics. In addition to the lecture presentation by Dr. Frank E. Harrell Jr., the workshop will include poster presentations by participants; students and post-docs are particularly encouraged to present their research or practicum work, and three poster awards will be given at the closing ceremony. There will also be career advice mentors in attendance who will be available to provide career-building advice, especially for graduate students.
