Abstract: Group testing involves pooling individual specimens (e.g., blood, urine, swabs, etc.) and testing the pools for the presence of a disease. When individual covariate information is available (e.g., age, gender, number of sexual partners, etc.), a common goal is to relate an individual's true disease status to the covariates in a regression model. Estimating […]

Due to COVID-19, this workshop has been postponed. We have switched to a virtual format and will now hold to workshop via Zoom Webinar. Synopsis The increasing volume and variety of neuroimaging datasets demand advanced modeling techniques to answer scientifically relevant questions such as causality and treatment effect. This workshop features novel statistical and machine learning approaches for […]
The Big Data Health Science Center is hosting a 90-minute interactive webinar with representatives from ESRI in Redlands, CA. This webinar will focus on data visualization and analysis of COVID19 data using the ArcGIS platform. Pre-registration is required for the webinar (limited to 100 attendees). Interested in registering? Please contact Miranda Cole at MC95@mailbox.sc.edu for […]
Join us virtually for an opportunity to partake in a collaboration between UofSC Big Data Health Science Center and the VA Health Care System to discuss game changing healthcare analytics. Leaders from the VA and BDHSC will come together to give in-person presentations highlighting the innovative possibilities of big data approaches to healthcare research. The […]
Abstract: Novel pattern identification methodologies have been developed based upon mathematical methods used in theoretical physics. The resulting powerful algorithms can be utilized to find clusters in both numerical data tables of the attributes of things and of networks of connectivity among things. This research develops a transformative pattern identification algorithm to analyze COVID-19 patient […]
About the Event:Associations between social and neighborhood characteristics and health outcomes are well known but remain poorly understood owing to complex, multidimensional factors that vary across geographic space. Growing interest in quantifying social determinants of health (SDOH) at a small-area resolution must account for such complexity. In a recent cross-sectional study, a Kolak-led team developed […]
Workshop Description: Spatial data analysis and multivariate applications are increasingly needed to address complex, geographically correlated phenomena. This workshop will cover spatial data handling in GeoDa, exploratory spatial data basics of areal data (eg. choropleth maps, parallel coordinate plots, etc), and some advanced multivariate analysis. Participants will conduct a principal component analysis and k-means cluster […]
Health GIS Scholars Program The Big Data Health Science Center’s Geospatial Core is pleased to announce the inaugural Health Geographic Information Science (GIS) Scholars Program. This program is being launched to recognize and support two outstanding undergraduate or graduate students who have demonstrated interest, potential, and/or experience in GIS and health research. GIS and health […]
