This month's MHRI-GHUCCTS Monthly Statistical Seminar Series will be held on Friday, November 21, 2025, 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 discussing Classical and Bayesian statistics, assuming there is an underlying theoretical distribution (e.g., normal, chi-square) that can be used to model the data of interest and thereby obtain probabilities of obtaining the value of a statistical test (e.g., t, F, chi-square). In this session, we will look at distribution-free statistics and probabilities. We will focus on statistics based on resampling methods – the bootstrap and the jackknife.
