Group Meeting Recap [10.14.2005]

10-11 AM. In Professor Lo's office.

1. This is the first time Yuejing came to the group meeting.
2. Lei reported current progress on the software development.
3. It is very important to keep up with current scientific research. Professor Lo encouraged everyone to read Science and Nature genetics regularly.
4. Inchi Hu (HKSTU) will be visiting us from 10/23-10/27. He has been working on a classification ideas based on the information score ideas. Professor Lo discussed the preliminary results.
5. Tian proposed that we propose and study the combined association and linkage method for a more general problem--combining different studies. Iulliana said she will look into this problem.

For next meeting:

• Lei will illustrate the current version of the software. [Maybe we should think about a name for the package.]
• Iulliana will bring her textbook on Machine learning.
• Yuejing will conduct a small search for other benchmark data for classification before next meeting.
• Tian will try to run the normalized BHTA screening results on the published simulated example before next meeting.
