Short summary: The session offers a broad overview of the different modelling issues arising in health and biological research. From the prediction of the ordinal response to treatment in a cohort study of thyroid cancer to the modelling of microbiome data via a structured finite mixture model that clusters patients sharing similar taxa compositions, to the application of symmetrical graphical lasso on functional MRI data for the identification of brain networks.
