Liyuan Scholars Colloquium Session 184

Title: Statistical Modeling and Analysis of Biomedical Data

Speaker: Professor Jin Shuilin (Harbin Institute of Technology)

Time: 16:00–17:00, October 24, 2026

Location: Room 601, Huiyan Building, Yuehai Campus, Shenzhen University

Abstract:With the advancement of gene sequencing technology, large-scale biomedical data has been generated. This data presents numerous challenges, such as high levels of noise and extreme sparsity. It is therefore crucial to use statistical methods to model this data and uncover the underlying patterns in life sciences and medicine. This presentation will draw on examples of statistical modeling of biomedical data to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing statistical data analysis.
