Motivated by classical logistic regression\, we construct a g eometrically defined binary regression model using distances and angles be tween geodesics\, and apply it to functional-connectivity matrices from th e Human Connectome Project to distinguish motor and language-processing ta sks. Together\, these results illustrate how familiar regression ideas can be extended beyond Euclidean spaces while retaining interpretability and relevance to complex biomedical data.\n\nCONTACT: juan.caicedo@wisc.edu\n\ nURL: https://biostat.wisc.edu/events/department-seminars\n\nONLINE: https ://uwmadison.zoom.us/j/96633729112 LOCATION:1524 Morgridge Hall (Also offered online) SUMMARY:Department of Biostatistics & Medical Informatics Seminar with Zhen hua Lin of the National University of Singapore URL;VALUE=URI:https://biostat.wisc.edu/events/department-seminars END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP;TZID=America/Chicago:20261022T181841 UID:223685@calendar.wisc.edu DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20261027T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20261027T100000 DESCRIPTION:Climate Change & Global Displacement.

Shrinkage estimation of small domain parameters typically combines a noisy direct estimate with a more stable regression estimate. However\, if the regression model is misspecified\, the optimal (MLE) estimate of regr ession parameters can degrade performance. Jiang et all addressed this wit h the Observed. Best Predictor (OBP). Dr. Louis introduces a class of empi rically informed regression weights that are convex combination of the MLE and OBP values-a Compromise Best Predictor (CBP).\n\nCONTACT: juan.caiced o@wisc.edu\n\nURL: https://biostat.wisc.edu/events/department-seminars\n\n ONLINE: https://uwmadison.zoom.us/j/96633729112 LOCATION:7560 Morgridge Hall (Also offered online) SUMMARY:DeMets Lecture 2 with Tom Louis of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School o f Public Health URL;VALUE=URI:https://biostat.wisc.edu/events/department-seminars END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP;TZID=America/Chicago:20261022T181842 UID:222762@calendar.wisc.edu DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20261114T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20261114T150000 DESCRIPTION:This event is open to all UW-Madison students interested in exp anding their knowledge about the experience of becoming a physician.
