SUMMARY:Applied Stats Workshop (Gov 3009)
DESCRIPTION:The Applied Statistics Workshop (Gov 3009) meets all academic year, Wednesdays, 12pm-1:30pm, in CGIS K354. This workshop is a forum for advanced graduate students, faculty, and visiting scholars to present and discuss methodological or empirical work in progress in an interdisciplinary setting. The workshop features a tour of Harvard's statistical innovations and applications with weekly stops in different fields and disciplines and includes occasional presentations by invited speakers. Free lunch is provided. Isaac Kohane presents “Interesting early results in data science that require new statistical methods” Title: “Interesting early results in data science that require new statistical methods” Abstract: In the brave new world of biomedical data science, new sources of data emerge seemingly every year from Twitter to genomes to weather to drug habits and/or doctor preferences. I will outline several interesting and apparently impactful findings that have emerged as a result of analyses of these data, both individually and jointly. I will then follow the discussion of these early successes with an outline of significant unanswered methodological challenges requiring a systematic and sound response if further progress is to be achieved. In particular, I will focus on those challenges which I believe are of the most interest to the biostatistical community.
