Biostat Student Seminar Series

In Person

Speaker: Cathy Xue Title: Robust discovery of mutational signatures using power posteriors Abstract: Mutational signatures are distinctive patterns of mutations resulting from carcinogenic molecular processes, such as UV radiation, molecular effects of chemical agents, and defective DNA repair mechanisms. Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) models have been used to discover mutational signatures and deconvolve their respective … Continue reading "Biostat Student Seminar Series"

Environmental Statistics Seminar – Boyu Ren

FXB FXB-G11

Nonparametric Bayesian estimation of causal exposure-response curves Causal exposure-response curves (ERCs) describe the causal effects of continuous exposures. Existing methods for the estimation of ERCs are mostly developed from a frequentist perspective and rely on computationally intensive resampling approaches for uncertainty evaluation. We propose a Gaussian process (GP) model to estimate ERCs, which achieves automatic … Continue reading "Environmental Statistics Seminar – Boyu Ren"
