Seminar on Classification and Clustering for RNA-seq data with variable selection 

Speaker: Tanbin Rahman PhD, FDA, USA Title: Classification and Clustering for RNA-seq data with variable selection Abstract: Clustering and classification play an important role in identifying sub-types of complex diseases as well as building a predictive model in the field of medicine. In recent years, lowering of cost and high accuracy has made RNA-seq widely popular which

Applied Statistics Seminar on “Pairwise Accelerated Failure Time Models for Infectious Disease Transmission Within and Between Households”

isrt seminar room

Abstract: Pairwise survival analysis handles dependent happenings in infectious disease transmission data by analyzing failure times in ordered pairs of individuals. The contact interval in the pair ij is the time from the onset of infectiousness in i to infectious contact from i to j, where an infectious contact is sufficient to infect j if he

Applied Statistics and Data Science Seminar on August 7 on “Testing linearity in rapid microbiological method validation”

Title: Testing linearity in rapid microbiological method validation Abstract: Testing the linearity of a measurement system (MS) is required during its validation. Guidelines clearly discuss the appropriate design and analysis in testing the linearity of an MS when the data is Gaussian distributed but not for count data. This talk addresses how linearity is tested and

Title: Hierarchical structural component models for pathway analysis of longitudinal categorical phenotypes Presenter:  Md. Kamruzzaman, PhD Associate Professor, Jagannath University, Email: kzaman1@isrt.ac.bd   Abstract: Several statistical methods for pathway analysis have been developed to test the association between pathways and phenotypes of interest. Since pathways are highly correlated, a hierarchical structural component models (HisCoM) was developed
