SUMMARY:David Sprott Distinguished Lecture by Trevor Hastie
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Please Note: This seminar will be given online.\n\nPREDICTIVE 
 MODELS IN HEALTH RESEARCH\n\n-------------------------\n\nLasso\, Random F
 orests\, and especially Deep Neural Networks are very\npopular in data sci
 ence applications. Do they have a role in health\nresearch\, and are they 
 likely to replace more traditional statistical\nmodels? In this talk I wil
 l argue that it depends on the application\,\nthe amount of data available
 \, and the purpose of the modeling\, with\nsome guidance from the \"Occam'
 s razor\" principle.\n\n-------------------------
