Hi everyone!
This week at the Applied Statistics Workshop we will be welcoming *Isaac
Kohane*, Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. He will be
presenting work entitled* Interesting early results in data science that
require new statistical methods*. Please find the abstract below and on
the Applied Stats website here
<https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/applied.stats.workshop-gov3009>.
As usual, we will meet at noon in CGIS Knafel Room 354 and lunch will be
provided. See you all there!

*Title:* *Interesting early results in data science that require new
statistical methods*
*Abstract:* In the brave new world of biomedical data science, new
sources of data emerge seemingly every year from Twitter to genomes to
weather to drug habits and/or doctor preferences. I will outline several
interesting and apparently impactful findings that have emerged as a result
of analyses of these data, both individually and jointly. I will then
follow the discussion of these early successes with an outline of
significant unanswered methodological challenges requiring a systematic and
sound response if further progress is to be achieved. In particular, I will
focus on those challenges which I believe are of the most interest to the
biostatistical community.
