Overview

The program will explore new directions in nonparametric Bayesian (BNP) theory and applications, focusing on applications in biomedical research problems. Specific themes in theory are: (1) complex data structures, dependent BNP models and quantification of the induced dependence; (2) efficient and scalable computational algorithms for BNP implementation; (3) summarizing BNP inference as a decision problem. And in applications: (1) real world evidence in clinical studies; (2) single cell RNA-seq data; (3) spatial transcriptomics; (4) subgroup analysis; (5) microbiome data; (6) network- and tree-structured data.
