MHRI-GHUCCTS Monthly Statistical Seminar Series: Missing Data

Date	Fri, Nov 15
Time	12: 00 PM - 1: 00 PM
Location	Zoom

This month's MHRI-GHUCCTS Monthly Statistical Seminar Series will be held Friday, November 15, 2024, from 12 PM - 1 PM. This series features Dr. Paul Kolm, Associate Director in the Center for Biostatistics, Informatics, & Data Science (CBIDS) at MedStar Health Research Institute.

The topic of this month's seminar will be how missing data presents a potential threat to study validity. In this session, we will consider assumptions about missingness: missing completely at random (MCAR), missing at random (MAR) and not missing at random (NMAR) and how these determine methods for multiple imputation of missing values. Discussion includes older methods of imputation that are less used but may be appropriate in some situations.

The Intersection of Ethics, Data Science, Informatics, and Epidemiology Mar 20, 2025 10: 00 AM - 2: 00 PM Zoom

This symposium explores how experts from different fields—ethics, data science, informatics, and epidemiology—work together to make sure health data are used responsibly. We will discuss real-world challenges like protecting people’s privacy, getting consent before using personal data, and ensuring that health decisions are fair for all communities, especially those who have been—and continue to be—underrepresented, underprivileged, or underserved (the "triple Us").
