ADVENTURES IN AND OUT OF THE CLASSROOM


Combining Data Science and Systems Science (Big Data and Dynamic Modeling)
I spent a week learning from one of the global leaders in healthcare analytics, Dr. Nathaniel Osgood, in Saskatoon.
"While both Systems Science and Data Science represent cutting-edge computational traditions that offer great promise for fine-temporal grained longitudinal understanding across multiple pathways of complex systems, these two traditions are typically pursued in parallel rather than in a joint manner. Within this bootcamp, we will discuss and provide a means of tapping the great promise of cross-leveraging Systems Science techniques (in the form of dynamic modeling) and Data Science, particularly emphasizing the role of cross-linking models with “big data” offering high volume, velocity, variety and veracity."
This hands-on tutorial taught me concrete tools, practical skills and the conceptual background required to combine dynamic modeling and “big data” related to health behavior, and offered guidance to participants in getting started in applying such techniques.
