SUMMARY:When Large p Is a Blessing
DESCRIPTION:HSPH Biostatistics and DFCI Data Science Colloquium\nThursday April 9 at 4:00pm\nHSPH\, FXB 301 \nZhijin Wu\, PhD\, Professor of Biostatistics\, Brown University \nBiomedical research has benefited tremendously from the breakthroughs in biotechnology in the last two decades that enabled simultaneous quantifications of a large number of biomolecules (DNA/RNA/proteins). Such data collected at the -omics scale often have a “small N large p” structure and the “large p” is often seen as a curse of Dimensionality. \nHowever\, sometimes the nature of high throughput data acquisition can be useful and provides information that is only accessible in “large p” settings. I will present several examples of our methodology development that takes advantage of the “large p” nature in genomic studies that lead to improved detection of molecular signals. \n\nColloquium Seminar Series \n\n
