On October 29, 2009 Sayan Mukherjee will be leading a discussion on Modeling complex phenotypes using high-dimensional genomic data.

Location: 4219 French Family Science Center

Time: 1:00 – 2:00 pm

Abstract: This talk will focus on the statistical, mathematical, and computational challenges in modeling complex phenotypes given high-dimensional data. The problem will be motivated based on practical problems in targeting cancer. Approaches to this problem will be discussed. A focus on stochastic aspects of geometric and probabilistic modeling will be emphasized.
