Replication, Robustness and Interpretability: Improving How We Communicate Scientific Findings | Chiara Sabatti

Chiara Sabatti, Professor of Biomedical Data Science and Statistics at Stanford University, presents a Technical Vision Talk at the WiDS Worldwide conference.

In a world where large comprehensive datasets are readily available in digital form, scientists engage in data analysis before formulating precise hypotheses, with the goal of exploring and identifying tantalizing patterns. In this talk Professor Sabatti will help us review some classical approaches to quantifying the strength of evidence, identify some of their limitations, and explore novel proposals. We will underscore the connections between clear, precise reporting of scientific evidence and “social good”.
