Campus Solna Franklinsalen, Tomtebodavägen 6, Karolinska Institutet Solna

The strategic research area in epidemiology and biostatistics and the statistical methods node of the national network for register-based research invite all interested in statistical methods for the analysis of data to attend the seminars.

The goal is for researchers in all disciplines to interact, discuss new statistical methods, and discover the wealth of methods that are being developed. The tutorials are intended for biomedical researchers or practitioners with research in or using mathematics, biostatistics, and computational statistics.

Please go to the program page for more information on the schedule, abstracts and how to sign up for the tutorials.
