Cost-effective Development And Validation Of Risk Prediction Models: Methods And Applications
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$157,322.00
Summary
We will develop statistical methods and software that will enable risk calculators being built and validated using study designs that require only a fraction of current cost. The methods and software will be freely-available to researchers worldwide.
This research will develop cutting-edge computational tools and statistical methods to analyse, model and visualise the way in which the human brain is interconnected. The tools developed will be used to identify biological markers in the brain’s network of axonal circuitry (the connectome) that are valuable for diagnosis and prognosis of psychiatric disorders. This research will bring to fruition the exciting potential of connectomics in neuroscience and psychiatry.
