Abstract

In addition to measuring the patient's health state, much of the data that we gather also provides strong indications of what the doctors were thinking or worried about. In this lecture, we will describe how taking advantage of this insight allows us to have a better diagnostic and predictive power in population health studies.

The BD2K Guide to the Fundamentals of Data Science Series

The Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) Initiative presents this virtual lecture series on the data science underlying modern biomedical research. Beginning in September 2016, the webinar series will consist of weekly presentations from experts across the country covering the basics of data management, representation, computation, statistical inference, data modeling, and other topics relevant to “big data” in biomedicine. The webinar series will provide essential training suitable for individuals at an introductory overview level. All video presentations from the seminar series will be streamed for live viewing, recorded, and posted online for future viewing and reference. These videos will also be indexed as part of TCC’s Educational Resource Discovery Index (ERuDIte). This webinar series is a collaboration between the TCC, the NIH Office of the Associate Director for Data Science, and BD2K Centers Coordination Center (BD2KCCC).
