Biostatistics Seminar Series: Exploring high-dimensional datasets: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and clustering
Fri. 1 Oct, 2021 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
Exploratory data analysis is useful to understand a dataset—to find insights and generate hypotheses, rather than test hypotheses. It's easy to understand a dataset when it's small, just a couple of patients and relatively low number of variables. What do you do if there are many variables or many data? How can we understand what's going on in the data, then?
In this session of the TraCS Biostatistics Seminar series, you will learn more about statistical methods to explore high-dimensional datasets.
Presenter: Jeff Laux, PhD
Research Associate, Biostatistics Team
NC Translational and Clinical Sciences Institute, UNC-Chapel Hill
The NC TraCS Biostatistics Seminar Series provides more in-depth discussion of select biostatistical topics for clinical and translational researchers who have basic quantitative training in biostatistical methods.
CANCELLED: Finding Funding: Panel discussion - Lessons learned about finding funding
Fri. 1 Oct, 2021 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
CANCELLED: This panel discussion will be rescheduled for a Friday in December.
This seminar series is aimed at research professionals, graduate students, postdocs and early stage faculty researchers. In this series, we cover foundational skills useful for career development in clinical/translational research.
The TraCS Professional Development Seminar series is split into 4 modules: Finding Funding, Communication Skills, Mentor-Mentee Training, and Rigor and Reproducibility.
