Developing Diagnostic Algorithms from Medical Data
Speaker: Alan Hubbard, Associate Professor of Biostatistics, UC Berkeley
Sponsor: CITRIS (Ctr for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society), UC Berkeley (Headquarters), Research Exchange seminar
Abstract:
The keeping of electronic medical records has led to an explosion of data and an academic industry that is trying to find patterns that predict illness, for instance based upon people's workplace, lifestyle habits, etc, or based on automated collection of medical data in a hospital setting. In this talk, I will discuss recent developments in algorithms behind such analyses and their applications to health survey, clinical and biomarker data.
