Using statistical methods and reproducible tools to gain new insights from biomedical and public health data.

Speaker: Ariel Mundo Ortiz, Université de Montréal

Date and Time: Wednesday, March 15, 2023 - 2:00pm to 3:00pm

Abstract

This talk focuses on how using better statistical methods and different perspectives for analyses can help gain insight into biomedical and public health data. The first part of the talk focuses on ongoing work regarding COVID-19 vaccination in the province of Ontario, and how there are intra-provincial differences that deserve further exploration. The second part of the talk focuses on the use of generalized additive models (GAMs) to analyze longitudinal biomedical data in order to gain insight into metabolic and molecular changes that might be significant, and that are ignored in traditional regression models.
