SUMMARY:Functional Data Analysis - Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jaroslaw (Jarek) Harezlak\nFrom: Indiana University\nTitle: Raw accelerometry data – Structured Functional Principal Components to the rescue\nLink: https://ncsu.zoom.us/j/94716351653 \nAbstract: \nAs walking is the most common form of physical activity\, one’s physical health is likely related to walking features. However\, current methods extracting walking features from raw accelerometry data do not account for varying cadence and commonality of features among subjects. We use data collected via ActiGraph GT3X+ devices in the Developmental Epidemiologic Cohort Study (DECOS) of older adults and apply structured functional principal component analysis (SFPCA) to extract features from walking signals on the subject-specific and the subject-spectrum level of a fast-paced 400m walk. We also use the subject level feature scores to study their associations with age and physical performance measures. Specifically\, we transform raw data into the frequency domain by local Fast Fourier Transform to obtain walking spectra and use SFPCA to decompose these spectra into interpretable walking features. We found that 5 subject-specific and 19 subject-spectrum level features explained more than 85% of their respective level variation. We established that higher acceleration magnitude at the cadence was associated with younger age\, lower BMI\, faster average cadence and higher SPPB scores. \n

SUMMARY:Biostatistics Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Time: April 11\, 4:30-5:30pm\nlocation: SAS 5270\nzoom: zoom link (Meeting ID: 989 4520 8567 Passcode: 970176) \nSpeaker Names: Mike Baiocchi / Associate Professor\, Department of Epidemiology and Population Health / Stanford University\nJordan Rodu / Assistant Professor\, Department of Statistics / University of Virginia \nPronunciations: bye-oh-key\nraw-dew \nTitle: How to tell the difference between machine learning and (bio)statistics \nAbstract: We’ll start this talk discussing a couple of studies: (i) a randomized trial to evaluate a sexual assault prevention program in Nairobi\, Kenya and (ii) a remote detection operation to find and disrupt labor trafficking in the Amazon rainforest. These are both “data science” projects but they are wildly different in how they work. What makes them so different? For a long time in (bio)statistics we only had two fundamental ways of reasoning using data: warranted reasoning (e.g.\, randomized trials) and model reasoning (e.g.\, linear models). In the 1980s a new\, extraordinarily productive way of reasoning about algorithms emerged: “outcome reasoning.” Outcome reasoning has come to dominate areas of data science\, but it has been under-discussed and its impact under-appreciated. For example\, it is the primary way we reason about “black box” algorithms. In this talk we will discuss its current use (i.e.\, as “the common task framework”) and its limitations. We will show why we find a large class of prediction-problems are inappropriate for this new type of reasoning. We will then discuss a way to extend this type of reasoning for use\, where appropriate\, in assessing algorithms for deployment (i.e.\, when using a predictive algorithm “in the real world”). We purposefully developed this new framework so both technical and non-technical people can discuss and identify key features of their prediction problem. \nMain paper: https://muse.jhu.edu/article/883478\nRelated paper: https://muse.jhu.edu/article/799741 \nBaiocchi Bio:  Professor Baiocchi is an interventional statistician (i.e.\, grounded in both the creation and evaluation of interventions). He thinks a lot about behavioral interventions and how to rigorously evaluate if and how they work. Methodologically\, he focuses on creating statistically rigorous methods for causal inference that are easy to critique. He designed  — and was the principle investigator for — two large randomized studies of interventions to prevent sexual assault in the settlements of Nairobi\, Kenya. He now works a lot on anti-human trafficking with the Brazilian Federal Prosecutors. \nRodu Bio: Professor Rodu’s research interests lie at the intersection of statistics and machine learning. He is interested in both developing principled methodology for incorporating machine learning into the scientific pipeline through a theoretical understanding of how and when it is safe to do so\, and leveraging statistical principles to fortify our understanding of machine learning algorithms. In addition\, he studies methodology related to high-dimensional time series\, with a particular eye towards applications in health and in the environmental sciences. He is also interested in data visualization and developing software to support visualization. \nWebsites:\nhttps://profiles.stanford.edu/michael-baiocchi\nhttps://jrodu.github.io/
