Biostatistics Seminar Series: Predictive modeling and cross-validation
Date: Friday, November 01, 2024 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
Statistical modeling for prediction requires a different frame of mind than more typical statistical modeling. In this seminar Jeff Laux, PhD, introduces predictive modeling as distinct from more common analyses and describes cross-validation, the central technique of predictive modeling.
The NC TraCS Biostatistics Seminar Series helps clinical and translational researchers collaborate more effectively with consulting biostatisticians by building deeper understanding of key statistical concepts and methods. Researchers then are better able to (1) evaluate relevance of the concept or method for research aim(s) definition and choice of study design; and (2) properly interpret the results of data analysis.
