DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Case Studies in Bayesian Statistics and Machine Learning I continues in the tradition of the Case Studies in Bayesian Statistics series. The original series of workshops were held in odd years at Carnegie Mellon University in the early fall. The first edition of the new workshop will be held at Carnegie Mellon University on October 14-15, 2011. The highest level goal of the workshop series is to generate and present successful solutions to difficult substantive problems in a wide variety of areas. The specific objectives of the workshop are to 1. Present and discuss solutions to challenging scientific problems that illustrate the potential for statistical machine learning approaches in substantive research; 2. Present an opportunity for statisticians and computer scientists to present applications-oriented research that changes the way that data are analyzed in scientific fields; 3. Stimulate discussion of the challenges of the analysis of high-dimensional and complex datasets in a scientifically useful manner; 4. Encourage young researchers, including graduate students, to present their applied work; 5. Provide a small meeting atmosphere to facilitate the interaction of young researchers with senior colleagues; 6. Expose young researchers to important challenges and opportunities in collaborative research; 7. Include as participants women, under-represented minorities and persons with disabilities who might benefit from the small workshop environment; 8. Encourage dissemination of the findings presented at the workshop via well-documented and peer- reviewed journal articles. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Bayesian and statistical machine learning approaches are essential for the analysis of data in the health sciences, particularly in complex diseases like cancer. The proposed workshop will highlight interesting applications of Bayesian and statistical machine learning, particularly in bioinformatics and imaging, which are relevant to cancer research and provide a venue for important collaboration amongst junior and senior researchers in statistics, computer science, and other disciplines.

描述（由申请人提供）：贝叶斯统计和机器学习案例研究我继续贝叶斯统计案例研究系列的传统。最初的系列研讨会于奇数年的初秋在卡内基梅隆大学举行。新研讨会的第一届将于 2011 年 10 月 14 日至 15 日在卡内基梅隆大学举行。研讨会系列的最高目标是为各个领域的困难实质性问题提出并提出成功的解决方案。研讨会的具体目标是 1. 提出并讨论具有挑战性的科学问题的解决方案，说明统计机器学习方法在实质性研究中的潜力； 2. 为统计学家和计算机科学家提供机会，展示以应用为导向的研究，改变科学领域数据分析的方式； 3. 激发对以科学有用的方式分析高维和复杂数据集的挑战的讨论； 4.鼓励包括研究生在内的年轻研究人员展示他们的应用工作； 5. 提供小型会议氛围，促进年轻研究人员与资深同事的互动； 6. 让年轻研究人员面临合作研究中的重要挑战和机遇； 7. 让可能从小作坊环境中受益的妇女、代表性不足的少数群体和残疾人作为参与者； 8. 鼓励通过记录详尽且经过同行评审的期刊文章传播研讨会上提出的研究结果。 公共健康相关性：贝叶斯和统计机器学习方法对于健康科学数据分析至关重要，特别是在癌症等复杂疾病中。拟议的研讨会将重点介绍贝叶斯和统计机器学习的有趣应用，特别是在生物信息学和成像领域，这些应用与癌症研究相关，并为统计学、计算机科学和其他学科的初级和高级研究人员之间的重要合作提供场所。
