Division of Biostatistics Seminar with Kellie Archer
Kellie Archer, of the Division of Biostatistics at The Ohio State University, will present: "High-dimensional Variable Selection and Prediction of Ordinal Response Data" Abstract: Pathological evaluations are frequently reported on an ordinal scale. Moreover, diseases may progress from less to more advanced stages. For example, cervical cancer due to HPV infection progresses from normal epithelium, to low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, to high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), and then to invasive carcinoma. To elucidate molecular mechanisms associated with disease progression, genomic…

Emma Benn, Director of Academic Programs for the Center of Biostatistics, Department of Population Health Science and Policy at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, will present: "Diversity in Statistics: Building and Sustaining Effective Pipelines for Recruiting and Training the Next Generation of Innovators" Abstract: There is no doubt that diversity is necessary for innovation in statistics, or any STEM field, if we are to find novel methodological solutions to complex real-world problems. However, increasing diversity and creating an…

Jesse Berman, of the Division of Environmental Health Sciences at the University of Minnesota, will present: "Getting Hot Under the Collar: Does Air Pollution Exposure and Temperature Increase the Risk of Violent Behavior?" Abstract: Background: Violence is a significant public health threat leading to social harm, injuries, and mortality. While violence research typically emphasizes social and individual behavior, relationships with short-term environmental conditions are poorly understood. Emerging evidence suggests that acute air pollution and daily temperature have neurological and behavioral…

Kelley Kidwell, of the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Michigan, will present: "Design and Methodological Improvements for Rare Disease Research: Use of snSMART Design" Abstract: A small n, sequential, multiple assignment, randomized trial (snSMART) is a small sample, multi-stage design where subjects may be re-randomized to treatment based on intermediate endpoints. Our methods are motivated by ARAMIS (NCT09239573), an ongoing snSMART focusing on the evaluation of three drugs for isolated skin vasculitis. We will compare and contrast the…
