Biostatistics and Bioinformatics held in Atlanta on May 5-7, 2017.
Featuring twenty-two selected papers from the workshop, this book
showcases the most current advances in the field, presenting new
methods, theories, and case applications at the frontiers of
biostatistics, bioinformatics, and interdisciplinary areas.
Biostatistics and bioinformatics have been playing a key role in
statistics and other scientific research fields in recent years. The
goal of the 5th Workshop on Biostatistics and Bioinformatics was to
stimulate research, foster interaction among researchers in field, and
offer opportunities for learning and facilitating research
collaborations in the era of big data. The resulting volume offers
timely insights for researchers, students, and industry practitioners.
