Challenges and Opportunities for Causal Inference in Molecular Epidemiology
Jonathan Huang and Brian Whitcomb explore the complexities of causal inference in molecular epidemiology. This playlist highlights key challenges, such as confounding and measurement error, and discusses opportunities for leveraging advanced methods to improve study validity and interpretation.
Mendelian Randomization
Jeremy Labrecque explains Mendelian randomization as a method for strengthening causal inference in epidemiology. This playlist explores how genetic variants serve as instrumental variables to reduce confounding and improve the validity of observational research.
Machine Learning
Ashley Naimi introduces machine learning applications in epidemiology, explaining how these advanced methods can uncover patterns, improve predictions, and enhance public health research. This playlist explores opportunities and challenges in integrating machine learning into epidemiologic studies.
