Hi everyone Instats is offering a new 1-day workshop on Dimension Reduction Methods for Complex Datasets by professor Nikolay Oskolkov from Lund University, running August 12. https://instats.org/seminar/dimension-reduction-methods-for-life-sciences-2494 This seminar provides a comprehensive overview of dimension reduction techniques in R and Python for high-dimensional biological data, focusing on their practical applications. Participants will gain theoretical knowledge and practical experience in linear and nonlinear methods such as tSNE and UMAP -- unlike PCA and factor analysis, these methods allow for nonlinear solutions. By the conclusion of the seminar, participants will understand the theoretical and practical foundations of these methods, with a wealth of examples that can be rapidly applied for their own research problems. Sign up today to secure your spot in this exciting workshop and learn the intricacies of data reduction for complex datasets using some of the most popular techniques available today.
