    Biostatistics Seminar: Kenneth Lange, Professor of Biomathematics, Human Genetics and Statistics, UCLA: “Next Generation Statistical Genetics”

    1690 SPH I 1415 Washington Heights, Ann Arbor, MI, United States

    This talk will discuss how modern data mining techniques can be imported into statistical genetics. Most relevant models now invoke high-dimensional optimization. Penalization and set projection give sparsity. Separation of variables gives parallelization. Time permitting, these ideas will be illustrated by several examples: estimation of ethnic ancestry, genotype imputation via matrix completion, conversion of imputed genotypes into haplotypes, matrix completion discriminant […]

    CoE Endowed Professorship Recognition: Eric Michielssen, The Future of Scientific Computing

    Johnson Rooms, Lurie Engineering Center, 3rd Floor 1221 Beal Ave., Ann Arbor, MI, United States

    Abstract: For decades, high-end computer-aided simulations have helped researchers gain new insights into the nature of the physical world. But only relatively recently has computational science developed the ability to quantitatively predict the behavior of physical phenomena, and taken its place next to theory and physical experimentation as the third pillar of scientific inquiry. In […]
