VIRTUAL SYMPOSIUM
Frontiers of Statistics |
|
Statistics is critically important for research ranging from medicine to engineering, and new advances provide exciting opportunities for the field of statistics to flourish. Explore the frontiers of statistics and discuss the future of the discipline at an upcoming National Academies' virtual symposium on June 22, 2023 from 2-5pm ET. During the symposium, speakers will engage in a forward-looking discussion about the state of the statistical sciences and emerging opportunities for the discipline and its stakeholders. Panelists will highlight cutting-edge research in statistics as well as the importance of statistical research and training for other disciplines. The panel discussion will explore developments in machine learning and the statistical questions that motivate its growth, ways to foster interactions with domains that are enriched by the statistical sciences, and future areas of exploration for statistical research. TALK TOPICSDrs. Joel Greenhouse, Marina Vannucci, Helen Hao Zhang, and Tyler McCormick will discuss:
- The development and use of Bayesian statistical models for complex problems, including applications in genomics, neuroimaging, and engineering
- Methodologies for combining information from multiple data sources, especially when linking data from observational studies and clinical trials
- Quantifying and communicating uncertainty in complicated predictive models, such as in health policy
- Inference within large-scale data mining and machine learning for predictive data analytics
