Don't miss it, it's this month! The 2012 Salford Analytics & Data Mining Conference aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and data enthusiasts to exchange ideas and experiences.
Attendees will have the chance to have one-on-one meetings with the creators of the CART and RandomForests algorithms (Dr. Adele Cutler, Dr. Jerome Friedman and Dr. Richard Olshen). Attendees will have the chance to learn from practical and theoretical experts including: * Dr. Richard Olshen (Chief, Division of Biostatistics at Stanford University School of Medicine and co-creator of CART) * Dr. Adele Cutler (co-developer of RandomForests with the late Leo Breiman) * Dr. Marsha Wilcox, Director of Epidemiology, Johnson & Johnson * Ben Trzaskoma, Senior Statistical Scientist, Genentech, Inc. * Dr. Richard Straub, Investigator at Lieber Institute for Brain Development * Onchee Yu, Biostatistician at Group Health Research Institute * Dr. Robert Aronoff, Physician/Researcher and Assistant Professor of Medicine, Milton S. Hershey Medical Center * Dr. Jason Haukoos, Director of Research and Clinical Research Fellowship, Department of Emergency Medicine, Denver Health Medical Center; Associate Professor, University of Colorado, School of Medicine; Associate Professor, Department of Epidemiology at the Colorado School of Public Health. And many more! Presentations include: --"Applying CART to cluster analyses in asthma databases to reduce the dimensionality of testing drug interactions" --"Algorithms to identify second breast cancer events using administrative healthcare data" --"Genes, Cognition, and Psychosis: Insights from TreeNet Gradient Boosting and RandomForests" --"Predicting Hospital Readmission Using TreeNet Gradient Boosting" --"A Study of Random Forests Learning Mechanism with Application to the Identification of Informative Gene Interactions in Microarray Data" --"Applied Multivariable Modeling in Public Health: Use of CART and Logistic Regression to Help Diagnose HIV Infection" --"RandomForests for Biomedical Applications" --"Statistical Epistasis and Progressive Brain Change in Schizophrenia: An Approach for Examining the Relationships Between Multiple Genes" --"Drug Discovery using CART and MARS" Conference website: http://www.salforddatamining.com/ Agenda: http://www.salforddatamining.com/agenda.html Registration: http://www.salforddatamining.com/register.html For additional information, contact [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> or phone 619-543-8880.
