Dr Florian will start by introducing the penalized regression models, and their pros and cons, particularly in the context of genetic prediction, then explain how these models can still be used, even for very large datasets. He will present some results of using penalized regression to predict 240 different phenotypes based on 1M genetic variants for each of 500K individuals.
Dr Florian Privé is a postdoc in Aarhus, Denmark. He is interested in using statistical learning to advance precision medicine. He is specifically developing tools to analyze very large datasets and methods to build predictive models based on large genetic data. I’m also fond of Data Science and an R(cpp) enthusiast.
Prediction Modelling Group
The Prediction Modelling Group provides a forum for researchers at King's College London’s Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) and clinicians at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, who are interested in prediction modelling applications for precision medicine.
