STATISTICS AND CLINICAL PRACTICE

May 15 - 18, 2016, Warsaw, Poland

Organised by
INTERNATIONAL CENTRE OF BIOCYBERNETICS

Seminar goals

The ICB Seminars "Statistics and Clinical Practice" held in Warsaw since 1994, have become a tradition as a meeting space for statisticians from various countries, dealing with problems related to medicine. Both scientific and didactic goals form a part of the Conference framework. The Seminar provides an opportunity for professional discussions among biostatisticians, while medical doctors are offered an opportunity to discuss statistical problems with leading experts in the field.

The following topics will be addressed during the Seminar:

• prognostic models selection
• exploratory analysis of big biomedical data sets
• data mining methods in bioinformatics
• inclusion of genomic data in biostatistical modeling
• new models in survival analysis
• clinical epidemiology
• study designs for individualized medicine
