Don't miss it, it's this month!

The 2012 Salford Analytics & Data Mining Conference aims to bring together
researchers, practitioners, and data enthusiasts to exchange ideas and
experiences.

Attendees will have the chance to have one-on-one meetings with the creators of the CART and RandomForests algorithms
(Dr. Adele Cutler, Dr. Jerome Friedman and Dr. Richard Olshen).

Attendees will have the chance to learn from practical and theoretical experts including:
*             Dr. Richard Olshen (Chief, Division of Biostatistics at Stanford University School of Medicine and co-creator of CART)
*             Dr. Adele Cutler (co-developer of RandomForests with the late Leo Breiman)
*             Dr. Marsha Wilcox, Director of Epidemiology, Johnson & Johnson
*             Ben Trzaskoma, Senior Statistical Scientist, Genentech, Inc.
*             Dr. Richard Straub, Investigator at Lieber Institute for Brain Development
*             Onchee Yu, Biostatistician at Group Health Research Institute
*             Dr. Robert Aronoff, Physician/Researcher and Assistant Professor of Medicine, Milton S. Hershey Medical Center
*             Dr. Jason Haukoos, Director of Research and Clinical Research Fellowship, Department of Emergency Medicine,
Denver Health Medical Center; Associate Professor, University of Colorado, School of Medicine; Associate Professor, Department of Epidemiology
at the Colorado School of Public Health.
And many more!
