Module 10 - High Dimensional Data Analysis
Description
This course is cancelled due to a low number of registrations. Our apologies for the inconvenience.
Modern high throughput technologies easily generate data on thousands of variables; e.g. health care data, genomics, chemometrics, environmental monitoring, web logs, movie ratings, … Conventional statistical methods are no longer suited for effectively analysing such high-dimensional data. Multivariate statistical methods may be used, but for often the dimensionality of the data set is much larger than the number of (biological) samples. Modern advances in statistical data analyses allow for the appropriate analysis of such data. Methods for the analysis of high dimensional data rely heavily on multivariate statistical methods. Therefore a large part of the course content is devoted to multivariate methods, but with a focus on high dimensional settings and issues. Multivariate statistical analysis covers many methods. In this course a selection of techniques is covered based on our experience that they are frequently used in industry and research institutes. The course is taught using case studies with applications from different fields (analytical chemistry, ecology, biotechnology, genomics, …).
Target audience
This course targets professionals and investigators from all areas that are high-dimensional.
Course prerequisites
Course prerequisites are ready at hand knowledge of basic statistics: data exploration and descriptive statistics, statistical modeling, and inference: linear models, confidence intervals, t-tests, F-tests, anova, chi-squared test, such as covered in Module 4 - Drawing Conclusions from Data: an Introduction, Module 8 - Exploiting Sources of Variation in your Data: the ANOVA Approach and Module 11 - Explaining and Predicting Outcomes with Linear Regression of this years' course program.

UGent PhD students
As UGent PhD student you can incorporate this 'specialist course' in your Doctoral Training Program (DTP). To get a refund of the registration fee from your Doctoral School (DS) please follow these strict rules and take the necessary action in time. The deadline to open a dossier on the DS website (Application for Registration) for this course is January 4, 2024.
Opening a dossier with your DS does not mean that you are enrolled for the course with our academy. You still need to register on this site.
It is you or your department that pays the fee first to our academy. The Doctoral School refunds that fee to you or your department once the course has ended.
