Statistics and data science: finding needles in multiple haystacks
by visiting professor Samuel Müller
Abstract
Powerful data science and statistics methods reveal through modern visualisation, machine learning and classification techniques more information on complex data than ever before. In this talk I share insights from recent projects where statistics makes a difference in personalised medicine and neuroscience, in particular to predict complex disease outcomes. The presentation concludes by showing powerful visualisation tools made available in the R software package, mplot, to understand more deeply how and what features are important to explain disease and other outcomes in regression type models.
