CHICAS is currently hosting Nuffield Research Placement student Oliver Wilkinson for five weeks. Oliver will be working with Dr Frank Dondelinger on developing efficient code for the fuser R package. The purpose of this package is to enable high-dimensional regression and prediction of disease outcomes in heterogeneous datasets.
The Nuffield-funded scheme gives sixth-form students the experience of a real research environment during their summer holiday. More information is available at the Nuffield Research Placements site.
