Biostatistics Seminar: Two Approaches for Uncertain Auxiliary Covariates in Two-Phase Study Design and Analysis

Speaker: Osvaldo Espin-Garcia, PhD, Assistant Professor, Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Western University  Presentation: Two Approaches for Uncertain Auxiliary Covariates in Two-Phase Study Design and Analysis Abstract: The two-phase study is cost-effective way to collect and analyze expensive predictors data by accruing data in two phases. In the phase 1, observed outcomes and/or inexpensive (auxiliary) covariates for all subjects are used to identify a subset of informative subjects for expensive predictor measurement. In the phase 2, all available data are analyzed by leveraging missing data methods.Existing literature implicitly assumes that auxiliary covariates are certain, i.e. are known and well-characterized (e.g. assume a single auxiliary covariate linearly relates to the outcome and/or the expensive predictor), while work on uncertain auxiliary covariates has received little to no attention. Here, I present two approaches that challenge this assumption. The first one, motivated by… Event interval: Single day event. Campus room: Online.

Biostatistics Student-Invited Speaker: Minimax optimal causal inference in high dimensions

Speaker: Edward Kennedy, PhD, Associate Professor Statistics & Data Science, Carnegie Mellon University Presentation: Minimax optimal causal inference in high dimensions Abstract: In this talk I survey recent work on causal inference in complex yet common settings with high-dimensional confounders, treatments, or outcomes. First we consider high-dimensional discrete confounders, where popular assumptions like sparsity and smoothness do not apply. We give new error bounds for standard estimators and show they are unimprovable in a minimax sense, illustrating fundamental limits of high-dimensional confounding adjustment. We then study the role of effect homogeneity and knowledge of the covariate distribution, showing how this additional structure can mitigate the curse of dimensionality and allow for faster convergence rates. Next we study high-dimensional treatments (both multi- and vector-valued), which bring distinct complications, such as high-dimensional target parameters and positivity violations. We… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Hans Rosling Center for Population Health (HRC). Campus room: HRC 135. Accessibility Contact: Deb Nelson, nelsod6@uw.edu, 206-685-9323.

ENV H 580 Environmental and Occupational Health Seminar: Air quality changes during and after the Eaton Fire in Los Angeles (Haroula Baliaka)

I am from Greece and hold a Dipl. Ing in Chemical Engineering from the university of Patras, GR. I am currently a fifth-year PhD student in Environmental Science and Engineering at Caltech and will be defending my thesis this May. When I first started my PhD, I was drawn to a puzzling question: why does Los Angeles, a city that has spent decades cleaning up its air, still struggle with persistently elevated pollution? I started looking at unique chemical signatures of trace elements and isotopes to identify different air pollution sources. Then, the 2025 Los Angeles fires happened. What had been a study of chronic urban pollution in the LA basin became something much more urgent: understanding the acute, overlapping impacts of wildfire smoke, structural burning, and resuspended ash.

Building a Robust Plan to Support and Evaluate Intervention Adherence

Abstract: When testing or implementing an intervention, it is important to ensure that the intervention is delivered as intended (i.e. intervention adherence), with adherence is an important part of intervention fidelity. However, training alone is typically not sufficient to support intervention adherence, particularly when the intervention has multiple components or needs to be tailored to the client or patient.  We cover tradeoffs and decision-making around adherence support needed post-training, considering balancing resources and intervention complexity.  We also cover models for evaluating intervention adherence, considering the balance of efficiency (ease of use) and effectiveness (rigor). Shannon Dorsey, Ph.D. is Professor and Associate Chair in the Department of Psychology at the University of Washington and Adjunct Professor in Global Health and Psychiatry. Her research focuses on treatment effectiveness and implementation science, specifically for children and adolescents receiving care in low… Event interval: Single day event.

Biostatistics Seminar: Tools for Interpreting Single-Cell Differentiation Trajectories

Speaker: Manu Setty, PhD, Associate Professor, Basic Sciences Division and Herbold Computational Biology Program, Public Health Sciences Division, Fred Hutch Cancer Center Presentation: Tools for Interpreting Single-Cell Differentiation Trajectories Abstract: Cellular differentiation unfolds as a continuous process across gene expression and chromatin landscapes, yet many single-cell analysis methods impose discrete categories that obscure the underlying dynamics. We have developed a suite of tools for interpreting differentiation trajectories directly from high-dimensional single-cell measurements: Mellon learns smooth, differentiable density functions over cell-state space using scalable Gaussian processes, capturing both local geometry and global topology of phenotypic landscapes in any single-cell modality. This continuous density representation provides a principled foundation for downstream inference. Kompot builds on this representation to perform differential analysis across conditions and detects… Event interval: Single day event.

Joint UW Biostatistics/Fred Hutch Seminar: Evaluating Conversational AI for Medical Diagnosis and Management

Speaker: Anil Palepu, PhD, Research Scientist, Google Research Presentation: Evaluating Conversational AI for Medical Diagnosis and Management Abstract: The medical interview has been termed “the most powerful, sensitive, and versatile instrument available to the physician.” While Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved expert-level scores on medical board examinations, these static benchmarks fail to capture the essence of clinical practice: the ability to intelligently and compassionately acquire information under conditions of uncertainty. To bridge this gap, we must evaluate AI through frameworks that mirror the complexity of human practice—most notably the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), a validated gold standard for assessing clinical competence in medical trainees. In this talk, I will discuss AMIE (Articulate Medical Intelligence Explorer), a research program from Google dedicated to developing and robustly evaluating AI capabilities for clinical reasoning and dialogue.

Causal Inference with Observational Data: Common Designs and Statistical Methods - Summer Institutes Online Short Course

Observational studies are non-interventional empirical investigations of causal effects and are playing an increasingly vital role in healthcare decision making in the era of data science. The study design is particularly important in planning observational studies due to the lack of randomization. Aspects of design include defining the objectives and context under investigation, collecting the right data, and choosing suitable strategies to remove bias from measured and unmeasured confounders. Statistical analysis should also align with the design. This module covers key concepts and useful methods for designing and analyzing observational studies. The first part of the module will focus on matching and weighting methods for cohort and case-control studies for causal inference. Specific topics include basic tools of matching and weighting, randomization inference, and sensitivity analysis. The second part of the module will focus on methods to address unmeasured confounding via causal exclusion. Specific to… Event interval: Single day event. Campus room: Online.
