![142nd APHA Annual Meeting and Exposition (November 15 - November 19, 2014): http://www.apha.org/events-and-meetings/annual](images/banner.jpg)
Learning Areas:
Biostatistics, economicsEnvironmental health sciences
Epidemiology
Public health biology
Public health or related research
Social and behavioral sciences
Learning Objectives:
List the drawbacks of ordinary least squares estimates for analyzing high dimensional data.
Describe how different shrinkage methods are used to find out smaller subset of covariates that demonstrate strongest effects.
Analyze public health data with ‘big p small n’ setting using modified Bayesian lasso with l1 loss.
Qualified on the content I am responsible for because: I have been the co-investigator of the research study on the development of gibbs sampler for modified bayesian lasso. My other scientific interests include the development of efficient methods for high dimensional data and regularization techniques from a bayesian perspective.
