Gabriela is a biostatistician working on applications and methodological development of statistics for medicine and biology, focusing mainly in ophthalmology and vision. She has provided statistical expertise to the many projects at the University of Liverpool for many years and has been instrumental in developing spatial models for ophthalmic clinical images.
This talk will highlight several examples of how statistics contributes to ophthalmic research. This will include evaluation of precision and accuracy of the measurements, statistical inference and extension of statistical modelling into clinical decision rules. The talk will conclude with a discussion for future directions in the analysis of complex ophthalmic data that contain images; especially on how statistics may interact with machine learning. Anyone with an interest in statistics, translational research and analysis for large datasets will find this lecture fascinating. I promise no complex equations!
