Creating and Sustaining Effective Pipeline Initiatives to Increase Diversity in Biostatistics: The ENAR Fostering Diversity in Biostatistics Workshop

phylogeography and genetic diversity of the lesser mouse- eared bat (myotis blythii) in iran

in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...

LEARNING OBJECTIVES After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Recognize the various terms used in biostatistics. 2. Describe the choices that are required in designing a particular research study. 3. Understand the different types of data that may be obtained in any given study. 4. Identify which statistical tools are appropriate for evaluating the different types of da...

Biostatistics Seminar

False Discovery Rate (FDR) methodology, first put forward by Benjamini and Hochberg, and further developed by many authors including Storey, Tibshirani, and Efron is now one of the most widely used statistical methods in genomics, among other areas of application. A typical genomics workflow consists of i) estimating thousands of effects, and their associated p values; ii) feeding these p value...

Balance in the covariate distributions is crucial for an unconfounded descriptive or causal comparison between different groups. However, lack of overlap in the covariates is common in observational studies. This article focuses on weighting strategies for balancing covariates. We propose a general class of weights---the balancing weights---that balance the expectation of the covariates in the ...
