In this module, we will present a number of unsupervised learning techniques for finding patterns and associations in Biomedical Big Data. These include dimension reduction techniques such as principal components analysis and non-negative matrix factorization, clustering analysis, and network analysis with graphical models.
We will also discuss large-scale inference issues, such as multiple testing, that arise when mining for associations in Biomedical Big Data. As in Module 4 on supervised learning, the main emphasis will be on the analysis of real high-dimensional data sets from various scientific fields, including genomics and biomedical imaging. The techniques discussed will be demonstrated in R.
This course assumes some previous exposure to linear regression and statistical hypothesis testing, as well as some familiarity with R or another programming language.

Improving Precision and Power in Randomized Trials by Leveraging Baseline Variables - Summer Institutes Online Short Course
In randomized clinical trials with baseline variables that are correlated with the outcome, there is potential to improve precision and reduce the required sample size by appropriately adjusting for these variables in the statistical analysis (called covariate adjustment). The resulting sample size reductions can lead to substantial cost savings, and also can lead to more ethical trials since they avoid exposing more participants than necessary to experimental treatments. Despite regulators such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency recommending covariate adjustment, it remains underutilized leading to inefficient trials in many disease areas. This is especially true for trials with binary, ordinal, and time-to-event outcomes, which are quite common.
This module provides a comprehensive overview of covariate adjustment—explaining what it is, how it works, when it is beneficial, and how to implement it in a preplanned, model-robust manner across various scenarios. Using re…

Cost: $35 for PlantAmnesty Members, $75 for non-members
REGISTER ONLINE, Limited financial aid slots offered on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Instances of mal-pruning and good intentions gone awry are sometimes explained away as “pruning art.” From improperly sheared hedges to ineffective design and training, this class will contrast examples of mal-pruning with bona-fide forms of pruning art and show how to use them to best effect. We’ll cover hedges and topiary, espalier, coppicing, pollarding, and pleaching, ending with a humorous note with slides from Cass Turnbull’s “The Good, The Bad, and the Bizarre” collection. Part of the Master Pruner Series held in partnership with PlantAmnesty.
Professional credits available: ISA - 2, APLD - 2, CPH - 2, ecoPRO - 2, NALP/WALP - 2, LA-CES - 2.

With another wildfire season in full swing, this webinar will highlight past trends and future expectations of wildfire in the western US with an emphasis on the Pacific Northwest. In the last few decades, the west has experienced longer fire seasons with more area burned by more severe wildfires. Wildfires appear to be spreading faster and creating more destruction with significant consequences to people and communities. Yet at the same time, we live intermixed with species and ecosystems that depend on fire to survive and thrive. The removal of fire from these ecosystems is the root cause of the wildfire crisis facing the west today. This webinar will discuss the confounding causes of the wildfire crisis and how climate change adds fuel to the crisis.
