Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Title

Statistical Modeling of Graph Theoretic Data in Systems Biology

Speaker

Denise Scholtens, Northwestern University

Abstract

Node-and-edge graphs are a foundational structure for recording, visualizing and analyzing high-throughput genomics and proteomics data. Like most data, systems biology observations generated by high-throughput technologies are subject to measurement error and therefore must be treated accordingly. Currently, most analyses present only naive summary statistics of these observations. We apply classic statistical modeling approaches for a variety of problems, thereby improving inference on commonly reported graph statistics, local features of interest in global graphs and plausible error probability bounds. 

Meet the speaker in Room 212 Cockins Hall at 4:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served.
