Statistical Software and Science
Statisticians are engaged not only in finding simple solutions to complex problems, but also in constructing complex solutions. This session will present algorithms and their implemention for attacking difficult, yet intriguing, scientific problems.
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant in this session will be able to: 1. Analyze and evaluate different approaches to modeling of age-dependent seroprevalence changes 2. Evaluate organ-matrix method as a cutting edge of technology to build systems. 3. Understand the algorithms behind imputation of genetic data 4. Describe the nature of the relationships among ANOVA-type effect sizes and measures of association when there are two groups and when there are more than two groups
