Machine learning and artificial intelligence wouldn't be possible without the statistical models that underpin their analytic capabilities. A Cornell statistician and his colleague have developed a ...

Brain mapping involves finding the brain regions associated with different traits, such as diseases, cognitive functions, or behaviors, and is a major field of research in neuroscience. This approach ...

Genetic studies of diseases map segments of the genome driving disease. But to understand how those changes contribute to disease progression, it is important to understand how they may alter gene ...

In this new work, statistical mechanics is used to understand how different mathematical models "compete" when trying to explain a system. This matters because many scientific fields rely on ...

Approach developed at the Texas A&M School of Public Health offers promising new knowledge on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis pathways Texas A&M University A new statistical technique developed by a ...

Researchers of the HSE International Laboratory of Statistical and Computational Genomics together with their international colleagues have proposed a new statistical method for analyzing population ...

(via TEDEd) In 2011, a group of researchers conducted a study designed to find an impossible result. Their study involved real people, truthfully reported data, and commonplace statistical analyses.

A new statistical method provides a more efficient way to uncover biologically meaningful changes in genomic data that span multiple conditions -- such as cell types or tissues. A new statistical ...

Method comparison studies aim to evaluate whether two or more measurement techniques yield sufficiently similar results to be used interchangeably. Traditional approaches such as linear regression and ...

In the ongoing quest to identify the genetic factors involved in disease, scientists have increasingly turned to genome-wide association studies, or GWAS, which enable the scanning of up to a million ...

University of Michigan researchers have developed a statistical method that can be used for such wide-ranging applications as tracing your ancestry, modeling disease spread and studying how animals ...
