An Introduction to Bayesian Modeling for Biomedical Research via COVID-19 Models
Overview:
This lecture will first introduce basic Bayesian modeling using COVID-19 data. It will then discuss a novel Bayesian approach that was recently published to estimate hospitalization risk for COVID-19 patients with comorbidities. The results indicate that cardiovascular diseases carry the highest hospitalization risk for COVID-19 adult patients, followed by diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, hypertension, and obesity.
Speaker:
Qunfeng Dong's research interests include analyzing high-throughput omics data, developing bioinformatics & biostatistical methods, and building integrative biological databases. Since March 2020, his research has mainly focused on COVID-19. More information is available at Center for Biomedical Informatics (CBMI).
Watch previous presentations and to find more information about future seminars.
