The following topics will be addressed during the Seminar:

• prognostic models selection

• exploratory analysis of big biomedical data sets

• data mining methods in bioinformatics

• inclusion of genomic data in biostatistical modeling

• new models in survival analysis

• clinical epidemiology

• study designs for individualized medicine
