Biostatistics in practice workshop at MGHPCC

Last Friday, 11/07/14, I attended the “Biostatistics in Practice” workshop at the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center (or MGHPCC), which was organized by the department of biostatistics, UMass Amherst. What was cool about it? Pretty much everything! 😀 Here’s a small summary of the things I learned there. There is a way to include R code (or from almost any other language, really) in a document, … Continue reading Biostatistics in practice workshop at MGHPCC

The whole thing was really interesting but I will only comment on what caught my attention. The first presentation was about simulations of supernovas and had some really cool videos. The speaker was Robert Fisher from UMass Dartmouth. The scale of those simulations simply … Continue reading New England Numerical Analysis Seminar 2012
