------------------------------------------------------------------------ University of Tampere Department of Mathematics, Statistics & Philosophy Statistics Unit ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MODERN STATISTICAL COMPUTING Short Course Thursday, 7 October to Friday, 8 October 2004 by Professor Robert Gentleman Department of Biostatistics Harvard School of Public Health, USA http://www.uta.fi/~sjp/msc2004.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Short Course is supported by the University of Tampere Foundation and the StatNet. Timing 14-18 on Thursday afternoon, 7 October 2004 10-16 on Friday, 8 October 2004 Preliminary schedule: Thursday 14:00-14:20 Registration 14:20-14:30 Opening remarks by Professor Erkki Liski 14:30-15:30 Robert Gentleman: "New Challenges in Statistical Computing" Abstract: Computing has evolved substantially over the past 20 years. Some of the new challenges and opportunities for statistical, and scientific, computing will be presented. These in turn raise questions about pedagogy, research and publication. An overview of some of the issues involved will be provided and some suggestions for the future will be made. Discussion: 15:30-16:00 Markus Jäntti, Esa Läärä (prepared comments) Thursday 16:30-17:30 Seppo Mustonen: "MSC as I see it" Discussion: 17:30-18:00 Reijo Sund (prepared comments) 19:00-22:00 Short Course Dinner (in the Departmental environment) Friday 10-12 Robert Gentleman: "An Overview of the Bioconductor Project: Scientific Computing for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics" Abstract: Computational Biology and Bioinformatics present an interesting and exciting range of problems that need to be addressed. Statistics has much to offer, but the size of the problems, the immediacy of the analysis and the rapidly evolving scientific landscape present substantial challenges. The Bioconductor Project (www.bioconductor.org) was initiated to address some of these issues. A broad overview of the project will be given. Specific examples, including microarray analysis, proteomics, and machine learning will be presented. 12-13 Lunch 13-15 Robert Gentleman: "Graphs (nodes and edges)" Abstract: Graphs provide an interesting and important data structure. They can provide a valuable abstraction for a wide variety of problems. In statistics they have been mainly used for graphical models and for social network analysis. However, they are more broadly interesting. Work in the Bioconductor project has produced three software packages for working with graphs. These will be presented together with their application to various problems. 15-16 Discussion This is a preliminary schedule that may be changed. Participants are expected to pre-register at their earliest convenience. Please provide your name and full address (preferably by email) to Secretary Riitta Järvinen, email: marija@uta.fi The Workshop Dinner will be provided in the Departmental environment. The price will be very moderate (announced soon). Those wishing to attend the dinner, should do pre-booking to Riitta Järvinen no later than 30 September 2004. (Early booking is encouraged to smoothen the arrangements.) This course is supported by the University of Tampere Foundation and StatNet. StatNet is a network of Finnish university departments, research institutes, and professional societies that specialize in statistical research or statistics production.
