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 […]
In this Virtual Seminar, Dr. Mike Conway of University of Utah will present recent work on investigating behavioral health research questions using social media text (Twitter, Reddit) and electronic health record data, concentrating on broad areas of depression and substance abuse.
