Description
This invited session is prepared for those involved in statistical consulting research and who (especially the graduate students) may need a guide to help demystify some of the recently developed statistical methods in the biological and health sciences. The session consists of 3 topics (3 speakers). These topics have three themes: problems, methods of analysis, and interpretation of the results. The statistical approaches will be based on empirical use of methodologies, the emphasis on understanding what the procedures do and applications to data analysis. Many of the examples of these talks will be based on actual biomedical research data that the speakers have analyzed. My hope is that the method of the statistical analysis aspects of the examples would provide a springboard for the motivated audience.
